He made an immediate impact in the NFL, rushing for 1,674 yards in his rookie season, which earned him the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award. 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.
