Rodrigo Blankenship rocks goggles and is listed with a height of 6’1, weighing 184 pounds. Furthermore, Rodrigo has no remarkable feat in a 40 yard dash or in bench press reps. However, defying all odds the kicker made 33-of-38 field goal tries and 44-of-46 PATs.

While on the contrary, Metcalf sporting his aqua hair is listed with a height of 6’4, weighing 235 pounds. Along with the intimidating physical appearance that he has, he is also fast enough to compete against professionals in the 100- meter dash.
