Arrested Detroit Lions Bust Finally Gets His Shot

Posted Mar 25th 2009 2:30PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained the mugshot of former first round NFL draft pick-turned-Detroit Lions mega-bust, Charles Rogers.

Rogers -- the #2 overall pick in the 2003 draft -- was sentenced to 30 days in the slammer yesterday (with 15 days credit for time served) for violating the terms of his probation in a domestic violence case.

Court records show the 27-year-old, who signed a $55 million contract with the Lions back in the day, tested positive for alcohol and falsified records showing he attended AA classes.

Rogers was a wide receiver before he got locked up -- no word if he'll change his position before he gets out.
