After receiving Randy Moss comparisons at Michigan State and running a 4.4-Forty-Yard Dash, Charles Rogers was selected by the Lions one pick before the Texans selected Andre Johnson. After catching 22 passes for 243 yards & 3 touchdowns in his rookie year, Rogers suffered his first broken clavicle. After suffering his 2nd broken clavicle in as many years, GM Matt Millen allowed him to go home for the remainder of his second season. He admitted in an interview that he began smoking marijuana to deal with pain in collarbones during time away from the team. In 2005, he was suspended 4-games after his 3rd violation of the NFL Substance Abuse Policy.
