It has been an unbelievably difficult couple of days for the family that is Michigan State athletics. First, news broke that Cassius Winston lost his brother Zachary on Saturday. This morning, we lost another member of the Spartan family as MSU legend Charles Rogers passed away at the age of 38. Rogers’ friends, fans, alumni, teammates, and more all took to Twitter to remember the former wide receiver for MSU and the Detroit Lions.
Devastated to learn of the passing of my spartan brother Charles Rodgers. 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 💔

Former @MSU_Football star WR Charles Rogers, the No. 2 pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, has died.
The 2002 Biletnikoff winner was 38.

Draymond Green the death of Charles Rogers: “A lot of people look at Chuck and say, ‘Oh, he never became in the NFL what he wanted to become.’ He from Saginaw, Michigan. He was the #2 pick. He’s a legend.” pic.twitter.com/HSn4dBNqto

Wow, just heard Charles Rogers, former #Lions #2 overall pick, died at age 38.
As a kid I remember watching his iconic Madden commercial, it stuck with me ever since. #RIP pic.twitter.com/mteVej9D8S

Man this hit me hard this morning! Charles Rogers was the best athlete to ever come out of Saginaw and all the myths about his athletic abilities on the basketball court, football field and track are probably 99%… https://t.co/TfSQ0YpOR8
