Charles Rogers posted two consecutive 1,300+ receiving yard seasons for Michigan State and was a highly-rated prospect in time for the 2003 Draft. He was taken by the Lions as the second overall pick - one place AHEAD of WR Andre Johnson - but proved to be an enormous flop, playing just 15 games over three seasons in Detroit due to injury, drug-related suspensions and arrests, while he tallied up a pathetic 440 yards over those years before retiring. Since then, a string of charges have came against his name including a death threat sent to his own mother, and conspiracy to carry that out with his uncle, as well as further drug-related issues.
