Charles Rogers to...

NOVI, Mich. (AP) — A judge has jailed ex-Detroit Lions top draft pick Charles Rogers for violating probation in a domestic violence case.

“I’m just going to do my 10 days, get out of the court system and try to get in shape for a comeback,” Rogers said Wednesday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from the Oakland County jail. “Am I sad about the way my life has turned out? No, because I know the strides I’ve made to take care of Charles Rogers.”

Court records show the 27-year-old ex-Michigan State star receiver tested positive for alcohol and falsified records saying he attended Alcoholic Anonymous meetings.

“I was wrong,” he said. “I’m not perfect.”

A judge in suburban Detroit granted Rogers’ request Tuesday to leave a diversion program and serve 30 days in the Oakland County jail, with credit for 15 days served.

Rogers was the NFL’s second overall pick in 2003. The Lions signed him to a six-year, $55 million deal, but injuries sidelined him most of his first two seasons. He was cut in 2006.

Rogers was charged in September with assaulting his fiancee and pleaded guilty to trespassing.

Aww man, why do they have to identify him as an ex-Lion?? This guy was such a bust, it`s not even funny. Embarassment to both Lions and the Spartans.
