According to MLive.com, Rogers, 28, was selected by the Detroit Lions Rogers with the 2nd overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft, but was cut in 2006 after "back-to-back collar bone injuries slowed him down." Rogers was found unresponsive when firefighters found him in his car on Sept. 16, the day he was arrested. He refused to take a Breathalyzer test as well.
Pro Football Weekly states that Rogers has a history of run-ins with the law. In March, Rogers spent 15 days in jail for possession of Vicodin without a prescription.
