Wide receiver Da’Rick Rogers saw his career at the University of Tennessee come to an early end after failed drug tests and off-field trouble cost him his job with the Colts last year.
Rogers was dropped by the team on the same day that he was arrested on DUI charges and a year after he had 14 catches and two touchdowns while making three starts in Indianapolis. The wideout has now resolved those charges.
WISH-TV in Indianapolis reports that Rogers has been sentenced to one day in jail and six months of probation after reaching a plea agreement in the case. Police found his blood alcohol content was between .08 and .14 percent when he was pulled over in late September.
Rogers was out of the NFL until he signed a future contract with the Chiefs in January. There are worse places for a player who once led the SEC in catches to try to make it as a pro receiver than on a team that has little settled at the position other than Jeremy Maclin, but potential league discipline for the DUI and his overall issues staying out of trouble off the field may lead the Chiefs to look elsewhere.
