This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Kentucky football'sWillie Rodriguez, a junior tight end who is second on the team with 28 receptions for 219 yards.

Rodriguez reveals his secret past as a running back and how the "Williecat formation," UK coach Will Stein's adaptation of the Wildcat that has Rodriguez taking a direct snap, is allowing him to live out his childhood dreams for UK. Rodriguez makes it clear just who the formation is named after.

Rodriguez also details his role in both catching the game-winning two-point conversion in overtime at South Carolina, and being a major decoy before the game-winner in overtime against LSU.

Hear about all of that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.
