Charles Rogers Biography

Charles Rogers is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on May 23, 1981 in Michigan, Michigan, United States. Wide receiver who played in the NFL from 2003-2005 for the Detroit Lions after an All-American college career at Michigan State. He was selected second overall by the Lions and a series of injuries and run-ins with the law turned him into one of the biggest busts of his era.

Quarterback Joey Harrington was his teammate on the Lions.

While attending Michigan State University, Rogers played for the Spartans from 2000 to 2002. He broke numerous receiving records. Rogers still holds the school records for most touchdowns in a career with 27, breaking the record held by former Spartans wide receiver Kirk Gibson, and the school record for most receiving yards in a single game with 270. He broke Randy Moss’s NCAA record of 13 consecutive games with a touchdown catch. During Rogers’ 2002 junior season, he had 68 receptions for 1,351 yards and 13 touchdowns, won the Fred Biletnikoff Award and Paul Warfield Trophy as the best college wide receiver in the nation, and was recognized as a unanimous All-American. His stock went up dramatically in his junior year when, in a game against Notre Dame, he outjumped two defenders to catch a Jeff Smoker pass in the back of the end zone, then managed to keep his left foot in bounds to score a touchdown.

Rogers caught 22 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns during his first five games of the 2003 season, before breaking his clavicle while practicing a speed drill with Dré Bly, leaving him out for the season. On the third play of the 2004 season, against the Chicago Bears, Rogers suffered another broken clavicle, knocking him out for the season. He was so devastated by the injury that the Lions allowed him to go home for the remainder of the season. Years later, Lions general manager Matt Millen said that in hindsight, he made a mistake by letting Rogers be away from the team for an extended period of time.

He was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan.
