I am practically giddy with anticipation to see what this guy (CB Travis Rogers) can do in this coming season.
Here is what my scout says about him now:
Run D: 19/23
MtM D: 18/22
Zone D: 14/18
Interceptions: 68
Punt Returns: 91
Kick Returns: 84
Endurance: 59
He certainly looks like he's a pretty routine return specialist DB, the type that's available in the late rounds of almost any draft. In fact, he was drafted by Indianapolis in the fourth round, played a reserve role (got in for 54 pass plays) and was released after his rookie year. I signed him to a three year deal, which he will finish this season.
His stats during the two years he's been on our club are:
32 games, 6 starts (at CB)
567 pass plays
13 interceptions, for 340 yards and 3 TDs
8 passes defensed
36 catches allowed
PDQ of about 70
59 punt returns
580 total yards (9.8 avg), 1 TD
55 kickoff returns
1669 total yards (30.3 avg), 5 TD

My biggest worry now is that he is listed as being "unhappy," and I'm not sure whether that means he will be unwilling to re-sign with me after getting all the starts this year.
In any case, I'll be keeping an eye out for him...
