Finding Charles Rogers – FBHW Segment 16
Today on Segment 16, the guys read and talk about a story in the Lansing Journal about former Michigan State football star, and Detroit Lion Charles Rogers. What happened to his life, his career, and where is he now?
He was an amazingly impressive receiver in high school. He rewrote the history books for football at Michigan State. He was drafted high into the NFL, and there were a lot of expectations, and he showed amazing promise for the struggling Lions.
But then he got injured. And then more problems. And drugs. And more injuries.
Things spiraled out of control, the leeches took their toll as well, and Charles just never recovered from it all.
This is his story.
