On draft day Captain Rogers was very excited to start his new career as a football star. Prior to the draft, it seemed that there were plenty of teams interested in using the captain's services, and as more and more scouts contacted Rogers, he began feeling like he had a purpose. This is his calling. A few teams really stuck out and seemed to be sure-fire destinations for the strong and speedy running back. However, as draft day finally arrived, every team in the first round decided to look elsewhere. It didn't take long for Rogers to get picked after that, though, as he would be picked in the second round with the third pick by the Baltimore Hawks. This came at somewhat of a surprise for Rogers as it didn't seem like they were as interested as other teams, such as New Orleans or Colorado, but he managed to make it work. That is, until another active back was taken in a later round to give Rogers even more competition. The two backs would butt heads, causing Rogers to eventually leave Baltimore, and in the end find his way back home to New York City. Now, Rogers is the lead back for the Silverbacks, and is carrying the load for a great team poised to make the playoffs this season.
