The New England Patriots redefined the importance of slot receiver in modern NFL offenses, but their streak of Wes Welker, Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman ended five years ago.

The 2025 NFL preseason kicked off Thursday and continues through Sunday with several rookies playing their first snaps.

Rogers played a big part in the Los Angeles Chargers defeating the Saints, 27-13, in their second game of the preseason. He followed up his pick-six with a second interception later in the game, along with a key pass break-up and five tackles.
