This is a coin toss between two guys named Rogers who were top 10 picks and contributed absolutely nothing to the Lions. Charles, the second overall pick after racking up more than 2,800 receiving yards and 27 touchdowns at nearby Michigan State, had 36 catches over three seasons in the league. That’s 1,026 fewer than Andre Johnson, who was drafted with the very next selection. The picture above, for reference, is from a preseason game.
Reggie Rogers, on the other hand, was an edge rusher drafted seventh overall in 1987 who’d go on to two starts and one sack in his Detroit career.
