Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers has died at the young age of 38 years old, according to Chris Solari of the Detroit Free Press.
Rogers, the second-overall pick of the 2003 draft, spent just three seasons with the Lions before the team cut him. Unfortunately for Rogers, he dealt with a couple of injuries in Detroit that immediately derailed his career, and in his final season with the Lions he was hit by a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
Rogers did not end up landing on any other NFL teams afterwards.
