  • Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
  • He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
  • Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
  • He shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
  • Rogers has the strong core and powerful hands to shed blockers, and Rogers shows excellent instincts with the ability to quickly locate the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
  • Rogers doesn’t have a lot of suddenness to his game, and Rogers won’t wreck plays on a regular basis.
  • Rogers struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
