Reggie Rogers

A consensus All-American for the Washington Huskies in Seattle under head coach Don James, Rogers was chosen seventh overall in the 1987 NFL draft by the Lions.

[1] However, he only played six games of his rookie season due to a slew of emotional problems, even spending time in a counseling center.

He made his way to the Canadian Football League and played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1993–94) and one of the U.S. expansion teams, the Shreveport Pirates (1995).

[citation needed] His daughter, Regina Rogers-Wright, attended UCLA and University of Washington and was an All American and 2012 WNBA draft nominee.

He was the younger brother of Cleveland Browns safety Don Rogers, who died of cocaine poisoning at age 23 in June 1986.
