LANSING, MI. (THECOUNT) — Charles Rogers, #2 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, has died, multiple outlets and former teammates confirmed Monday morning. He was 38.
The details surrounding “Chuck” Rogers’ death are unclear, reports TMZ.
His former Michigan State teammate Chris Baker confirmed the sad news in Monday morning.
“Devastated to learn of the passing of my spartan brother Charles Rodgers,” Baker said.
“Spoke with his mom this morning. Please pray for her and his children. Please also be respectful of their privacy at this difficult time. Rip Chuck.”
Rogers was selected by the Detroit Lions and flashed huge potential — catching 22 passes for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns during his first 5 games of the ’03 season. But, he suffered a broken clavicle, which ended his rookie campaign.
