Not sure Rojo can run a wheel route.
Rojo wouldn't have come back. or wouldn't have caught it.
Also, in this offense RBs are expected to be able to run routes from the slot, or any position in the offense, x, y, z, whatever. Rojo can't do any of that. But CEH can and we've seen him run WR-type routes. Rojo can't do that at all.
And who said anything about special? I'm talking about the bare minimum to just be on the field. That's run the ball, be decent in pass pro, run the minimum number of routes from not just the tailback position but also the slot.
Rojo does one of those things. And it's not like he's a great runner anyway. he showed some flashes in TB early, but even then, he wasn't special. if he was, I'd be at least quietly banging the desk for him to get in there, but he's not. Never was. He was probably always backup in case CEH or Jerrick got hurt. No one saw Pacheco coming, which is how Jones ended up where he is.
