This power run game places a strong emphasis on inside zone and duo schemes, utilizing a lead blocker to create alleys for downhill runners.
Rogers can immediately contribute as a lead blocker and short-yardage asset, with a ceiling as a multi-situational H-back in a power rushing attack.
A modern spread RPO system that prioritizes speed and receiving from the backfield would diminish Rogers' blocking prowess and limited burst.
Rogers is best utilized in an old-school, smashmouth offense that values his blocking and short-yardage capabilities over open-field agility.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
