Eric Rogers wasn’t talking about the deep ball he hauled in over a cornerback at a recent San Francisco 49ers Organized Team Activites session.
Instead, the team’s tallest wide receiver at 6-foot-3 was referring to his unique path to the team’s 90-man roster.
After going undrafted out of Cal Lutheran in 2013, Rogers auditioned for the Dallas Cowboys in training camp before spending a year each in the Arena Football League and Canadian Football League. The journey, although unorthodox, helped Rogers further develop the tools of his trade.
Rogers, 25, looks the part as an NFL receiver so far this offseason.
