INDIANAPOLIS — Chester Rogers certainly took his lumps last season as a rookie after he was handed the Indianapolis Colts’ punt returner duties.
After Quan Bray went down with a season-ending ankle injury about midway through the year, Rogers, then an undrafted rookie, eventually stepped in and admitted to some youthful mistakes when it came to the nuances of the job, such as when — and when not — to call a fair catch, as well as always being aware of exactly where he was on the field.
“That was just me being anxious; wanting to make plays and having the ball in my hand,” Rogers said.
