It's crazy how many games we won because of his leg. I had a friend who would say "we are going to win this game by however many points Rodrigo Blankenship scores" and he was right more often than not
@huntertrum3658 I mean I remember him missing a field goal against South Carolina at home in overtime that lost Georgia the game, which I was happy about by the way
One of my favorite players are ones who don’t conform to the average athlete standards. Looks like a friend you grew up with who had a crazy good talent you wouldn’t guess
That's why I really like Jamaal Williams...as a football fan, other fans make fun of me for liking anime...so I'm glad to see a nerdy player that likes the same nerdy shit I like

@@AvidSportsyou don’t need to defend a dude cuz he said Jews run the music industry 😂😂😂unless your 12 him saying that was beating a dead horse and his music didn’t stop being classic
as a south carolina fan in a family of georgia fans i can say we had a chant for him. i also remember him missing a game winner against us. Go rodrigo, Go, go rodrigo!
Who remembers any kicker not on their favorite team? I remember tho. I like the Bucs, but as a Bears fan, there's Kevin Butler, Paul Edinger, Robbie Gould and some other guy who caught a lot of criticism recently. Then as a true NFL Fan there's Morten Andersen the goat, Hansen, Vinitieri, Folk, Gary Anderson, and a few other guys who were great. I even remember Vanderjagt and I hate the colts, which is also why I remember Blankenship. But the average die-hard NFL fan barely remembers opposing kickers.
Freaking love Hot Rod! As a UGA grad this dude was unreal in college. You knew as lkng as we got to to the 50 yard line we were coming away with 3 points. Also his off the field work with charity and kids arounf Athens was amazinf.
The only reason I know who he is, is due to Chiseled Adonis bringing him up for being put in a game instead of the first string kicker. Then he got iced and the first string came in and he screamed "WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE?"
I’m a Colts fan, loved having him before his injury. He just couldn’t get over the mental hurdle that the surgery had on his hips. You could tell on his motion.
As a Georgia boy how could I ever forget him he was a true unit and whenever we sent him out it was basically a guaranteed 3 points wish he could’ve prospered more🫡
I went to high school with Rodrigo I was a freshman while he was a senior and I played on the football team. Saw him practice and his dad was always his coach. The real coaches literally let him just coach his son and they never spoke to him about anything. He was the number 1 kicker in the nation and went to UGA so I guess his dad knew what he was doing. Super hard on him tho. I remember he was always yelling at him. Always
That was my guy when he was kicking at UGA. I still remember, if I remember correctly, how the whole team celebrated when he was awarded the final scholarship
Man, as a Colts fan, I hated to see him go. He was a really good dude but yeah after that injury bro fell off a brick wall. Same thing with Darius Leonard, they just both crazy declined 😔
@@barchaosmaster339 bro he never made a kid past 50. And Rod was kicking like poo for weeks prior to the injury. Badgly was kicking decently and making stuff in the 55+ range. I haven’t played madden since 2015/2016.
@@jamescrawley5293 ok, I missed his longest make. But that is his only one in his career with the Colts. He made 1 kick at the 37 yard line. But that’s not good enough in the league nowadays.
@@mattyaboi1653anything past 35 is good shyt in any era of football smh. Just cuz there 3-4 kickers who can kick 50+ yards consistently. lol kills me how ppl love calling kickers trash but they wouldn’t be able to hit a 20 yd kick them damn selves. Dude was legit

Adrian Peterson in a lions uniform jump scare.
Fk 😂😂
You didn’t know that?
Fr that shoulda been the who remembers
Everything after Minnesota is an Adrian Peterson jump scare 😂
Actually, he popped off that one year he was with the Lions. @ball3677
He was my favorite madden player, and also a reason why I like the colts now. Dude is a DAWG
Well dude was a dawg for one year lmao
Well we hate him glad your part of the fanbase but Rodrigo ain’t getting no love no free meals in Indy
He isn’t a dog though?
@@zereknetervalwhat year madden ? Just found my new random 99 overall factor 😭😭😭😅
@gaber9290 uh 2020 in the pros, maybe 21 in madden? Idk I never played too much past 14
If there is any player I’d want to make a career comeback, it’s him 10000%
My list had him at two and Baker at one, so now he’s moved up to number one.
He got signed by someone, doesnt mean much but hey
I want to see O.J. make a comeback over this clown.
This is the story of 80% of nfl players that make pro
@@CurflanderHolyfield cap. no one wants 80% of players to come back especially when almost no one knew who they were
HOT ROD!!
Common passed on this beat I made it to a jam
BRO I WAS SO SAD WHEN HE WAS GONE
Pretty sure in sec days, they told commentators stop saying that. They used it then all the sudden no more
He plays Marvel Strike Force. They interviewed him about it on a content creator channel
I feel bad for him. Dudes Transformer collecrion was MASSIVE
Why feel bad lol he made it to the NFL the average career is 4 years not everyone can play 10 12 years
@@E4createhe banked around 4 mil. Good for him
@@nicholascovucci6545and he apparently has a giant transformers collection

almost perfect

didn't he miss that field goal against USC in 2019 or was that someone else?
As a tennessee fan nor will I... unfortunately
@huntertrum3658 I mean I remember him missing a field goal against South Carolina at home in overtime that lost Georgia the game, which I was happy about by the way
He was the last special teams player to let down Philip Rivers
This comment made my day
Smh Bro. phil did not deserve that
Still doesn’t hold a candle to Nate Kaeding
Philip rivers was a trash qb poverty franchise. Y’all really let drew Brees go for him. Lmao

He is a Georgia Bulldog legend and in my top 3 of favorite kickers to ever come out of Georgia
Right there with you, and I'm old - from the Rex Robinson and Kevin Butler days
Who remembers Rodrigo Blakenship? He was last in the league 2 years ago lol
😂 thats pretty funny considering he was pretty consistent with his kicks this year
And one of the highest scoring college players of all time…

Short time in Indy but still legendary, injuries killed it

I LOVE RODRIGO
He was the kicker on my winning fantasy team
Rodrigo Blankenship’s dad was the kicking coach at my high school
Rodrigo Blankenship was my dad
Your high school has a kicking coach?
@@tedjonston777 some schools aren't bums and can allow for a full coaching staff
RIP Hotrod colts nation loved you
man i really miss him. bro carried my fantasy team my first time ever playing. hope he makes a comeback
From Hot Rod to Shankenship 😞
His rise and fall as a Colts fan was rough to watch. The Ravens game was really when I knew it was the end.
Absolutely hated it man he was supposed to be the next Pat
one of my favorite bulldogs players he was SOOOOO good. GOOO DAWGSSSS!!!!!
The only reason I know who he is, is due to Chiseled Adonis bringing him up for being put in a game instead of the first string kicker. Then he got iced and the first string came in and he screamed "WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE?"
Damn, I hadn't realized this. He was the goat in college and really thought he would have a long legendary career.
Salute to two real men… men respect men, you can tell they really respect each other
Dude this guy was so funny lmao i miss him
After his injury, it was just a confidence thing for him. Hopefully he comes back 1 day. He definitely has the talent.
Loved him as a colt hated when he got let go because he was a very likeable person
even as a browns fan i can admit this dude was a DAWG
I’ve been a Georgia fan all my life but I got into football from watching the 2017 Rose Bowl where he made some huge kicks. I have his jersey.
2017 rose bowl was the single greatest football game ive ever seen
Thought he was gonna be an all time great after his rookie year, so tough.
Life moves fast
Dude was a beast, had him for Ramsay’s that one full season with the colts and he saved my ass in a few matchups
So much pain everyone wanted him to succeed
I truly enjoyed this dude.
Man this kid could boot it in Athens!!! He hardly ever missed back then…
He was one of my favorite players.
I 💯% hope he is able to recover his ability to kick like a beast.
Favorite kicker. Go HotRod and GO DAWGS
He'll never out grow the shadow of his older brother Kenny Blankenship .
Picked this dude up off of waivers that year and he helped me win the Chip!! Thank you Goggles!!
I’m a Colts fan, loved having him before his injury. He just couldn’t get over the mental hurdle that the surgery had on his hips. You could tell on his motion.
I sat next to him in one of my classes at UGA. Chill down to earth good dude.
He was my fantasy kicker, clutched up when Josh Allen was on bye.
I remember Kenny Blankenship…..RIGHT YOU ARE KEN
hell of a run for the guy👏🏽
Won my Dawgs that Rose bowl. And many more games. Won't ever forget Hot Rod! Wish him the best
This man is a G. In franchise he came in clutch
Him and Younghoe my go to fantasy kickers when we had kickers.
Very uplifting😢
Not even an NFL fan but i remember this dude
Had a class with him my last semester at UGA at Grady College (the journalism school). Great guy, love Hot Rod!
He’ll be back 🙏
10000%
I sure do
As a Georgia boy how could I ever forget him he was a true unit and whenever we sent him out it was basically a guaranteed 3 points wish he could’ve prospered more🫡
He was so good at georgia.
Bummer. I really liked watching Rodrigo. At least the memory of his time in the NFL will live on forever in that meme lol ❤️
Loved this dude in college
That's sad cause I really liked him
Respect the Specs 🔥 I was a big fan of this dude in Indy. Ik he missed a few kicks but he showed some potential
He was really amazing. Sad to see it not work out for him.
I think he can comeback. He needs to stay ready because if a kicker goes down he can fill in.
When someone says, "Beat it, NERD!" This is the guy theyre talking to 😂

I remember him because my dad is a Georgia fan and I happen to be a Colts fan!!
I remember him. I liked him in 2020 being a colts fan and all, still like him as a person, really chill guy, but he’s not nfl level anymore
Went to high school with him. Still an amazing guy to be around ❤
i remember watching him play as a kid because i always watched the bulldogs
My dad used to always say "Blankenship, more like blankenshit!"
God bless you, Rodrigo!
That’s the goat right there
Rodrigo was awesome.
As a colts fan loved having a good kicker again sad it didn’t last long but Indy still got love him even after the injury
As a UGA fan I always wondered what happened to him. This just hurts so bad 😢
"I guess kickers can get hurt, too" as if they aren't putting massive amounts of torque and force through their hips and legs.
Thanks for this uplifting story.
He has went to physical therapy with me and he is a awesome guy. You would never guess he plays in the nfl though
He made his millions. He’s set himself and his family up at least a couple of generations for life. He’ll be alright
Bro he made less than a million
He infact didnt make millions
That was my guy when he was kicking at UGA. I still remember, if I remember correctly, how the whole team celebrated when he was awarded the final scholarship
I wanted the Rams to sign him last year when they were having kicker problems.
I’m a Georgia fan, hot rod is literally my favorite player in the nfl
My favorite player :(
He literally transformed, now the NFL has Mike McDaniels
Man, as a Colts fan, I hated to see him go. He was a really good dude but yeah after that injury bro fell off a brick wall. Same thing with Darius Leonard, they just both crazy declined 😔
Georgia fans know HOT ROD when we see him!
He’s the best kicker to ever play for the Dawgs!
Man I remember him😢
Man I remember Rodrigo at UGA
I'm still followed to him on tiktok. He's a good dude
Bro just had a weak leg and developed the yips. I wish the Colts kept Money Badger instead of bringing him back after his injury.

Prime Rod. He was special. 🥹
Yeah I remember watching him game the packers in 2022 or 2021 lol
We loved Rodrigo
My fav uga kicker😢
It’s sad. I’ve seen the man kick and it’s incredible. Sad that injury ruined him.
Even though I’m a Florida fan I love the guy and he showed that even if you have glasses you can make the league
Love that guy
