I sill remember the 2002 season, so much hype going into it. MSU was ranked top 20 in the preseason polls, which was great for the program in that era. I will never forgot the 2 large murals on the outside of Spartan Stadium. They were of Rogers & Smoker, with the caption “Where there’s smoke...there’s fire”. RIP Chucky!

@jona.scholt4362 2 жыл бұрын

I was a Freshman in Case Hall, and could see the banner on my way to every class. Though we all joked it should read, "Where there's Smoke, there's coke" because Smoker got caught doing coke. That season was such a joke and Bobby Williams was terrible. Then they followed that up with John L Smith. Ugh....

It's kind of funny how Smoker doesn't even look at other receivers when the ball is snapped. I met Charles once. Pretty much right before he passed. I told him I was a huge fan and he seemed pretty appreciative. I said I was sorry how his Lions career turned out but that it was GO GREEN GO WHITE for life and he smiled. Then he went and bought a blunt wrap

I remember reading a quote from Tj. Duckett. This was during the 2000 season Charles was redshirted. He went on to tell a reporter how insanely good Rodgers was when practicing against the 1st team defense. Of course in 2001 he lived up to this hype and then some. It was fun watching him. I hate this career took a bad turn. Then again, who career doesn't take a turn for the worst when drafted by the Lions.

Muhammad Ali once bragged with reporters that he was so fast, he could turn off the light and be in bed before the room got dark. Charles Rogers was so fast, he could’ve unscrewed the bulb on the way. The closest I’ve ever come to seeing a superhero in person was being a friend of Charles Rogers. He had the smile and charisma of Snoop Dogg and ran as fast as Tech N9ne or Twista can rap. Charles Rogers wasn’t just fast…he was FAST. Chuck did to high school track and field, basketball, and football what the Golden State Warriors did to the NBA. He WAS the cheat code. Not many athletes are spoken of as urban legends in the way one might speak of the hitting power of Ruth or the competitiveness of Michael Jordan. My favorite story/rumor about Chuck involves him running the 40 yard dash, a speed test many know from watching NFL combines. The fastest time ever run to date at the combine is 4.22 (a time tied by Usian Bolt unofficially in 2017 at a Super Bowl charity event). Legend has it the coach asked Chuck to run the 40, but due to an error on the stopwatch, he asked Chuck to run it again. So he ran it again...but the coach had the same error. The coach changed stopwatches and had Chuck run the 40 a third time. Same result. The ending of this story varies depending on who tells it, but the slowest time Chuck reportedly ran was 4.2. Some say he ran a ridiculous time of sub-four seconds. The accuracy of the times given when telling the stories isn’t the point. The point is if you had ever seen Chuck on the field in person, your eyes had already convinced you that the story was at least conceivable. Charles Rogers was fast. Sadly, so is life. Today the world lost a former NFL player and #2 pick in the draft. College football lost a former Belitnikoff winner, and Michigan State lost their all time TD catch leader who caught a TD in 13 straight games and broke Randy Moss’ record. But Saginaw...we lost Chuck. Nobody wastes time measuring how long you see a comet as it bullets through the sky. You simply watch it in amazement, and consider yourself grateful to have witnessed it...even if for a moment. I got the chance to know Charles Rogers and see him become one of the many from our small town to let his light shine albeit briefly and to, as Steve Jobs would say, “leave a dent in the universe.” Here’s to what was, and what might have been. Rest well, Chuck. Written by. Christopher Owens

Man I loved this guy growing up! It's a shame that freak injuries (and the drug abuse that came with them) ruined his career. Go back and read any scouting report on Charles Rogers, college or pro, everyone compared him to Randy Moss. Still, he's the greatest WR to ever play at MSU, which is saying something.. Based on pure talent and his production in only 2 seasons, he is arguably the best WR in Big Ten history as well.

@blankname6629 9 жыл бұрын

I think a guy named Plaxico was better than Rogers.

@JamesDeBall 9 жыл бұрын

In the NFL, yes; in college, it's close but I give the edge to Rogers because he was faster, quicker and more athletic. Rogers had the potential to be a top 5 wide out in the league, he just washed out.

@blankname6629 9 жыл бұрын

James DeBall I am probably biased towards plax cuz he was a btr NFL wr. Rogers was just a complete goof when he got to the NFL. But I also had to watch plax torch Michigan worse than any game Charles rogers had against them.

+Zach V He actually started off pretty well but he was bitten by the injury bug. He broke his collar bone his first season and then again in the first game of his 2nd season. Then he spent 10 months sitting around his house smoking weed. He played for one more below average season before he was cut. Then the Lions sued him for his signing bonus due to failed drug tests. Never played football again and now has no money and has bounced between jail and rehab. It's sad to blow such talent and opportunity at a young age.

Charles Rogers had some holes in game. His route package wasn’t developed like an Anquan Boldin or Andre Johnson who was drafted in the same year. Charles Rogers could only run the post & fade when he got to the league, his game was easy to figure. At the end of the day by the time he got drafted the deep ball was neutralized & you couldn’t just ‘Moss’ your way down the field. This shift in the game hurt Rogers IMO

@josepharmstrong1531 4 жыл бұрын

Thing is, there are many WRs that have come into the game with even LESS of a route tree, but have gone on to succeed. Charles' biggest problems were the injuries and a lack of motivation to improve his game.
