- Rogers has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
- Ball placement is a strength. Rogers has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Gets the ball out quickly, making ·splitsecond decisions. Good short to intermediate level accuracy, demonstrating the ball placement to allow receivers to run after the catch.
- Enough arm strength to drive the ball through tight windows up to 20 yards downfield. Spreads the ball around to multiple receivers.
- Athletic quarterback who is a threat to leave the pocket and gain positive yardage at any time. Possesses very good vision balance, elusiveness and deceptive speed and power as a runner.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Sails throws to either sideline; receivers make him look good with acrobatic catches. Back-foot throws are not accurate. Sometimes trusts his arm too much, trying to stick passes late in the play or when off-balance.
- His mechanics are hit-or-miss as Rogers struggles to remain consistent. His stride is inconsistent, leading to sporadic accuracy.
- Erratic passer who struggles with consistent ball placement - has a tough time fitting passes into tight windows.
