Recapping all of the first round Spartans of the last 21 years.

Charles Rogers, Wide Receiver – 2nd overall to Detroit Lions, 2003

Charles Rogers was one of if not the most talented football players in Michigan State history. As we all know, injuries and addiction forced his professional career off the rails before it could ever really get going. When he was healthy, Chuck was as good as it got. Rogers died in November of 2019 of liver failure.
