Charles Rogers never needed long to prove he was a special.
From his days as a three-sport star at Saginaw High to two record-breaking years at Michigan State, Rogers was the elite of the elite, leading to being drafted second overall in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions.
“He was an incredible talent,” said current Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio, who was an assistant under Bobby Williams during Rogers’ first season with the Spartans.
Rogers died Monday at the age of 38, and it didn’t take long for the condolences and tributes to start rolling in.
