[edit] Early years
Rogers attended Oxnard High School, where he played tight end, defensive end, linebacker, and punter. As a senior tight end, he caught 39 passes for 412 yards (10.6 yards per reception). As a junior, he had caught 17 passes for 201 yards. But he was also an excellent blocker, and also averaged 10 rebounds a game for his basketball teams.
[edit] College career
At the University of Southern California, Jacob Rogers was a three year starter, and one of the nation's top offensive tackles as an All-American Senior.
[edit] Professional career
His professional career is considered a disappointment at this point, as Rogers only played in two games as a rookie, and then controversially decided to undergo season-ending microfracture surgery on his right knee prior to the start of the 2005 season. On March 17, 2006, the Cowboys released Jacob Rogers and at the time, he was the highest drafted player to be released from the 2004 NFL Draft. Additionally, Dallas Morning News Cowboys blog writer Matt Mosley wrote that the Dallas coaches questioned his desire to play football.
