Rodney Eddrick Kinlaw (born April 6, 1985]) is a former professional American Football running back. He also played for the Edmonton Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League. He was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2008, out of Penn State.
Kinlaw was a standout running back and defensive back at Stratford High School in Goose Creek, South Carolina, where he amassed 1,783 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior. Kinlaw was named Offensive Back-of-the-Year by the Charleston Post and Courier and Palmetto Touchdown Club. He was named an All-American by SuperPrep and was a finalist for South Carolina's Mr. Football and was named Associated Press first-team all-state.
Kinlaw, who at one time was considered to be the third best of the three tailbacks in the Nittany Lions' 2003 recruiting class, spent most of his career at Penn State on the depth chart behind Tony Hunt and Austin Scott while nursing a serious ACL injury. He did not see significant playing time until week five of his senior season (2007). Kinlaw's career-best performance came versus Temple that year when he rushed for 168-yards on 27 carries, the most since previous Penn State running back Larry Johnson who had 271 yards rushing in a single game. Solid performances the second half of the 2007 season saw him become the 11th running back in Penn State history to reach 1,000 yards in a season ending with 1,329 yards rushing and 123 yards receiving.
