Rogers' powerful running style and ability to break tackles made him a key player for the Saints, and he quickly became one of the league's top running backs. His success continued throughout his career, and he was named to the Pro Bowl twice during his time in the NFL.
In 1985, Rogers was traded to the Washington Redskins, where he continued to be a productive player.
