Brad Rogers brought Iowa toughness and a bruising fullback edge
Brad Rogers was a compact, physical Iowa fullback who earned a reputation as a hard-nosed blocker and team leader, not a volume-stat star. In the 2011 season, he was named Iowa’s Comeback Player of the Year after returning from serious cardiac concerns that had sidelined him, and he was part of Iowa’s leadership group for three seasons. The biggest differentiators: durability questions early on, fearless intensity, and the kind of blue-collar mentality Iowa fans adore. If a team wants a tone-setter in the run game, he fit the Hawkeye mold perfectly.
