OXNARD, Calif. – Undrafted rookie wide receiver Eric Rogers made an early splash, putting together some nice work on the Cowboys’ first day of practice that was highlighted by an impressive catch.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Rogers, who played at Cal Lutheran in nearby Thousand Oaks, reached back against his body to snag an errant pass from quarterback Alex Tanney.

“Eric did a good job in the offseason,” coach Jason Garrett said. “He was one of those players that got better before your eyes. It’s really a tribute to the kind of young man he is. He works hard at it. It’s important to him. He’s a big, long guy, he’s got good ball skills. He showed us that in the spring and hopefully he can show that in training camp.”

Rogers rewrote the Cal Lutheran record books en route during his time with the Kingsmen, capping his impressive run with a 61-catch, 868-yard, 15-touchdown performance in 2012. He also threw two passes, including one for a 26-yard TD.

For his career, Rogers scored a school-record 45 touchdowns

Hey way to keep quiet so we can stash him on the practice squad.

And our yearly undrafted reciever who catches the coaches eyes has arrived.

I don't think it matters. With all the exposure preseason games receive, and all the media nowadays... I doubt an article like this is going to turn the NFL's attention on to this kid.

Macy Brooks was no Stephret Williams.

Maybe he takes Danny Coale's 6th receiver position.

No. I'm putting hard $ down we roll with an all white recieving core this season. Coale & Beasley are key componants.

What about Dez and the White African American Miles Austin?

What about Dez and the White African American Miles Austin?

Miles in. As far as Dez, its a trade or white face. His call.

 

[Jon88]

I don't know, man. That's sounds kinda racist. You don't want Obama making statements about him being athletic 25 years ago or some shit.

He looks light on his feet. Has some lateral quickness. Needs to get rid of the hat.

Did you mean Cole Beasley?

I don't think Danny Coale really has a shot. Too many young, talented WR's on this team.

I see:

Dez
Miles
Harris
Williams
Beasley

Also... I think we only keep 5 WRs. Have to go long on other positions because of depth/injuries. Already supposedly keeping 4 RBs and probably 5 TEs.

How fast is Rogers? 40 time

Don't go to sleep on rfa WR Eric Rogers from Cal Lutheran.


That is Brad Sham's twitter


@nickeatman40m
Yeah Eric Rogers can play ... Forget practice squad . His goal should be the 53


@dmn_george42m
Cowboys WR Eric Rogers has caught everything his way in practices so far.

I see the same 5 making it, but if we were to keep 6 Rogers would be a nice pick. I don't see anyone picking up Tanner or our 5th tight end if we had to cut them.

@fishsports 14m Garrett told me last night WR Eric Rogers (a camp star) has shot if he overcomes prob getting separation. So-far #cowboys playmaker, tho

 

[Jon88]

has shot if he overcomes prob getting separation.

That's kind of a big problem.
