Summary: Rodney Hudson brings a lot to the table. Right now his skills are perfect for a zone blocking scheme. He spent four years starting in the ACC, including some work at center and tackle. The experience at center could come in handy because he is undersized to stay at guard and could change positions. He has added weight, but has to show NFL teams it is going to translate on the field if he stays at guard.
