Jimmy Rogers

[Leroy Lizard]

Does anyone remember this player? I was watching an old Sooner vid on YouTube and mentions him as a RB during the 1978 season, but I cannot remember him.

Yup, good RB that had the misfortune of being at OU along with some pretty damn good backs; he was actually drafted and played 5 years with the Saints

Was there anyone on that team that wasn't drafted?

If I remember right after he had a great game in the Pro's a reporter asked where he played college ball and when he said Oklahoma the reporter called the university sports info. office and was told he didn't play there. When confronted with that told them to call back because he did play there he was fourth team so that's why they didn't remember him.

I'm thinking that he was special teams captain fro the niners for a while. He used to play basketball all the time at 12th ave. rec center in the mid eighties. Owned a commercial cleaning service if I remember correctly.

Interesting guy.
