Carlos Rogers

2005 saw Rogers selected by the Washington Redskins.  He spent six years in Washington, followed by three in San Francisco and one in Oakland.  He found himself on the field a lot, starting 123 out of 133 career games.  Once he hit San Francisco, Rogers started every game for the rest of his career.

Rogers was selected to the Pro Bowl once, in 2011, after he posted six interceptions.  He also recorded 19 passes defended that year.  In 2007, he picked off two passes for Washington as well as 24 passes defended.  Rogers doesn’t light the world on fire, but he has been a solid corner for a decade.
