Rodrick Del Rodgers (born June 22, 1960, in Tacoma, Washington), is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 3rd round of the 1982 NFL Draft. A 5'11" running back-kickoff returner from the University of Utah, Rodgers was the first thousand yard rusher in Utes history. From 1982 to 1985, he played for the Packers. On December 9, 1984, he ran a 97-yard kick return for a touchdown against the Chicago Bears. After a one year absence from the league, Rodgers came back and played two seasons for the San Francisco 49ers from 1987-1988 and was used primarily as a kickoff returner. He won a super bowl ring with the 49ers in Super Bowl XXIII.

Rodgers is currently a sports anchor at NBC affiliate KCRA-TV in Sacramento, California.
