Charles Rogers, the former Michigan State standout and 1st selection of the Detroit Lions, is one of the most infamous NFL Draft busts ever. He was supposed to be a superstar and help turn the Lions around; instead, he flamed out in the midst of poor conditioning with story after story pinpointing drug abuse as a likely culprit.
Now, in Rogers’ own words, we know that this was the case. Rogers is featured on an upcoming edition of ESPN’s Outside the Lines in which he admits that he smoked weed every day.Â
And as only the good folks at Tirico Suave can, they have produced a sterling video that encapsulates not only the plight of Charles Rogers, but a man – the infamous Matt Millen – who has no such excuse for his own poor performance.
I’m embedding the video here for your convenience, but you know that the purpose of the Links of the Day posts is to spread the love around the sports blogosphere. So click over to Tirico Suave, one of the funnier and more clever sports blogs you’ll find.
