Chargers showing interest in Rutgers CB who impressed at pro day

The [Chargers](https://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/) signed veterans Donte Jackson and Benjamin St-Juste during the first week of free agency to pair with youngsters Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart. That’s a fair quartet to begin the year with, but the Chargers should not be satisfied with the depth at such an important position. Ja’Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard are still on the team, but they’re from the previous regime and Jim Harbaugh likely wants to keep bringing in players that fit his image.

Per a recent interview done by The Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Chargers have reportedly shown interest in former [Rutgers](https://www.onthebanks.com) cornerback Eric Rogers. At his recent pro day, Rogers impressed in front of scouts with an elite 6.84 in the three-cone drill. Other numbers noted by Melo were a broad jump at 10’3” and a 40 time that ranged from the mid to late 4.5s.

Rogers began his collegiate career with the Northern Illinois Huskies where he played from 2020-2022. In three years there, he totaled 44 tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, and five pass breakups.

After transferring to Rutgers, Rogers started 12 games for the Scarlet Knights with 11 of them coming as a senior in 2024. He ended his career in the Big Ten with 53 tackles, one tackles for loss, one sack, 10 pass breakups, one interception, and two forced fumbles.
