Michigan State football loses a legend in Charles Rogers

Watching Charles Rogers in a Michigan State uniform was one of the best treats any Spartan fan could have asked for. The Saginaw-native caught anything thrown in his general direction and finished his two-year career with nearly 3,000 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns before declaring for the NFL draft.

Rogers played at Michigan State during a time when the program wasn’t in the best place (2001-02) but he still managed to have an incredible impact.

Not only did he provide loads of memories for fans during that time, he gave them something to look forward to on Sundays when he was drafted by the hometown Detroit Lions.
