Charles Rogers gets 93 days in jail

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers has been sentenced to 93 days in jail for contempt of court after his recent arrest.

Rogers was arrested for disobeying a sobriety court order, which had been imposed because he pleaded guilty to impaired driving last year.

According to police, Rogers passed out at a Mexican restaurant and was visibly intoxicated.

Matt Millen made Rogers the second overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft. Perhaps if Millen had instead gone for Andre Johnson, picked third overall by the Texans, the Lions wouldn’t have had the worst record in the NFL over the last decade.
