DraftSeason: Rodney,
you haven’t had a whole lot of opportunities to prove your skills so far
in your career. Is this the year we’ll see Rodney Kinlaw breakout and show
us what he’s got?
Rodney: I've always been ready to show my skills but I feel as though
I havent been put in the best situations for my abilities and hopefully
this year I will get a lot more chances to use my ability in space. I'm
ready for the upcoming season because I still feel as though I have a lot
to prove and the public hasn't seen what I am capable of doing. I think
if I'm used right I will shock a lot of people who haven't seen me really
play.
DraftSeason: How would you respond to the scouts who look at
your size, and say you aren’t big enough to be a
feature back in the NFL?
Rodney: I don't think size is a very big factor if you can
get the job done. Look at the size of the best rb's
Walter Payton, Barry Sanders none of them were huge
bruising backs.
DraftSeason: Is their any current NFL player that you try to
mold your game after?
Rodney: I watch Tiki Barber and LT run and I pattern after
the two styles.
DraftSeason: Who was your favorite NFL team/player growing up?
Rodney: I never really had a favorite team but my favorite
player is Barry Sanders.
DraftSeason: If you could play any other position on the field
besides running back, what would it be and why?
Rodney: I would play cornerback because of my size and
ability.
DraftSeason: What is it like playing for legendary coach Joe
Paterno?
Rodney: It is great playing for Joe Paterno.
DraftSeason: What does #20 like doing when he isn’t playing
football?
Rodney: When I'm not playing football I just like to listen to
music and chill with my teammates.
DraftSeason: What is your all time favorite movie?
Rodney: My favorite all time movie would have to be
Gladiator.
