Sam Rogers not a WR but still out catching balls on JUGS machine. "Sam Rogers will be wherever there is work to be done," Moorehead said.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) September 3, 2013
I love what I'm hearing. He's just a freshman but behaves like a senior. When he becomes a senior, the kid is gonna be something special.
In my mind, he's already turning into a legend.

Embodying the best of the workman attitude that we need. Lets hope his drive lights a fire under others.
I hear he energizes every huddle and meeting
I hear that whenever he smiles, a unicorn is born.
The dinosaurs were not killed when an meteorite impacted the Earth. It was Sam Rogers' arrival in his intergalactic pod.
Everytime Sam Rogers makes a Defender regret initiating contact, a fairy gets it wings....So many pretty fairys
I can only assume this is to improve his pass-catching ability to make him a more versatile HB. Maybe he'll take over for Coles at that hybrid HB/TE position. Maybe he won't flinch when he has to catch the ball over the middle.
Sam Rogers doesn't flinch when going over the middle, the LBs do.
nailed it, +1
Thanks, I've been slacking on my TKP. This stupid thing called "work" keeps getting in my way. Apparently if I don't do it the kids don't get to eat and the mortgage doesn't get paid so it's a "big deal".
I bet Sam Rogers' mortgage pays itself out of reverence.
not showing up for me
workin on it. these damn kids and their technology...
^that was awesome/hilarious
Run on?
Run Over!!
Think the legend talk may be a little premature. He currently has 3 career rushing yards.
Only on one carry though. Once he starts getting more carries his yardage will go way up, trust me.
He's a fullback though, he's not going to get that many more carries. (He should though. Like his running)
I wouldn't put it past Loeffler to put in a few quick-hitting FB dives, especially with a guy like Coleman coming in motion to freeze linebackers/safeties. He's already got more carries than any FB last year too.
denying sam rodgers' legend i like denying someone's pus. . . you know what? nevermind
Three more yards than Drew Harris and Michael Holmes have this season.
That's more than all our FBs had the last two seasons combined (Joey Phillips had 2 yds on 3 carries in '11).
Sam Rogers may be the first VT offensive player to carry the lunch pail.
I think that could be deserving. I never see Sam ever putting up impressive stats, but I think his attitude and hard work could make him a senior captain. Not to mention he's gonna clear a lot of running lanes the next 4 years.
Reminds me of this quote:
Thomas A. Edison
Sam Rogers is our Rudy... Except with outstanding athleticism and brute strength!
Incorrect. Rudy is Notre Dame's Sam Rogers
Both under 6 foot monsters of work ethic, team first, unselfish badassery with the #45. Coincidence? I think not
Unfortunately I believe that photo is taken just a second before he misses the tackle on 22 that turned into the kick return for a touchdown...
Still though. Sam Rogers. Whole lotta awesome.
Sam Rogers doesn't miss tackles. Tackles are afraid of him and run away.
Saw Sam Rogers on campus the other day. Pretty sure he ate the lunchpail, and then a few more because he was still hungry.
When do the Chuck Norris and Sam Rogers comparisons start?
There is no comparison. Chuck Norris wishes he was Sam Rogers.
Chuck Norris jokes are good. But Sam Rogers FACTS are better.
Who's Chuck Norris?

Just...keep scrolling.
Sam Rogers doesn't flush the toilet. He just looks at it and scares the sh!t out of it.
SAM-MIE!...SAM-MIE!...SAM-MIE!...SAM-MIE!...
UT PROSIM at work!!!!
GO HOKIES!
When Sam Rogers does push-ups he's not lifting himself up...he's pushing the earth down.
Ghosts sit around campfires telling Sam Rogers stories.
Death once had a near-Sam-Rogers experience.
This is a good one but also one I've seen with Chuck Norris. (same for ones above) Original Sam Rogers Facts are more my cup of tea.
For example, did you know that David Wilson didn't actually catch that rabbit? Nope. It was running away from Sam Rogers.
or that,
Sam Rogers is never offsides. The line of scrimmage is too afraid of him and keeps moving.
they're maybe not as "good" as a near-Sam-Rogers experience, but like Christmas presents it's the thought that counts.
Yes, it is difficult to think of new ones for Sam Rogers. Maybe because every time I think of Sam Rogers, I get scared. As if he already knows I'm thinking about him.
By and large, I think Chuck Norris-isms represent a whole category of statements that could be applied to any target. But originality is key with these things.
I believe Peter Griffin explains it perfectly, HOAT.
I'd like to add this gem of a photo from this week's HokieSports Weekly to the long list of reasons why we love this kid:
I mean, seriously? Kid's intense. I love it.
35 (or 85) for WCU looks like he wants no part of Sam Rogers. He must have read TKP and knew to stay away.
If you look closely at his shoulder pads, it's #95 for WCU. And I agree that he found discretion the better part of valor against SR45.
I didn't look that close, but +1 for you!
That's the face of a man who doesn't want to be denied his pussy touchdowns.
Caption Contest!!!!
"Sam Rogers uses his jedi powers to move the endzone five yards closer."
BALLIN BALLIN LIKE I PLAY FOR NEW ENGLAND
(from Rick Ross' verse in "Pop That" by French Montana if you don't know the reference)
Add ONE MORE PICTURE of just his face waaay zoomed in.
"Sam Rogers, pictured here, carrying fewer defenders than normal."
thought the same thing, one more zoom in would be perfect. than you could make it a "soon" meme. that would be sweet.
Ask and ye shall receive...
that is awesome. good lookin out
ECU saw this picture tonight. We are now 2-1. True Story.
Ok, odd observation, but with the collar and helmet, this looks like the hokie birds head. Am i the only one seeing that?
You know, I think you're on to something...
THE HOKIEBIRD IS SAM ROGERS' CHILD!
Zoom in on the face, then zoom in on the eyes, and you've got yourself a little Ferris Bueller's Day Off going on.
Make it a series where it's wide shot...scared opponent, closer shot...scared opponent, and then on the last one with just the eyes, the back side of the opponent with soiled pants photoshopped in.
Oh, hell no... Can't stop laughing!
Sam Rogers once flashed before life's eyes

Can we get him a mouth guard that gives them that same grim (Grimm?) visage?
Kind of like this?
Accidental down vote, somebody help me out here please. Any reference to the Steel Curtain is worthy of a turkey leg or ten.
Gotcha covered.

Upon seeing this the little dog pissed himself and was left laughing hysterically in complete terror.
The dish and the spoon were totally booking it
He does need a neck roll or cowboy collar or something to look more badass.
On a serious note, I hope next off season he can gain 15-20 lbs and then more the next and be playing in the 240-250 range. A 220lb fullback isn't going to move big time defenders.
Sam Rogers doesn't move defenders. Defends move out of Sam Roger's way.
Sam Rogers invented the discount double check, but let Aaron take credit for it so it wouldn't break this guy's heart...
Passed by Sam Rogers. Didn't even make eye contact, and I saw my life flash before my eyes.

I find myself watching the game and yelling that they should give the ball to Sam now. He may not be fast, but I bet he can just make things happen.
Sam Rogers simply walks into Mordor.
You win the Internet today
I just can't believe no one beat me to it.
Sam Rogers hand-carved the Hokie Stone helmets. Without any tools
It's going to be really interesting to see what a year of Gentrification does for Sam. I hope our weight room survives.
I think you mean it is going to be interesting to see what a year of Samification does for Gentry.
crap, totally missed your post. turkey leg for beating me to the punch and for being correct
The weight room doesn't gentrify Sam Rogers, Sam Rogers rogerifies the weight room.
I don't think it is a coincidence the speed and agility rooms looks more Hokie now that Rogers has arrived in Blacksburg.
I hope you all can sustain this pun output for another 3 years
We won't need to. When Sam Rogers scores a touchdown he will ascend into the heavens on a dragon.

I'll stipulate. Simply because I like my life.

When Sam Rogers blows his nose, universes are created.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
Sam Rogers had a sweet one handed catch early in the game tonight. Is there nothing this kid can't do?
It's cause Sam Rogers had a talk with the ball and quelled its fear. See he was "dropping" the balls earlier in the season because they were afraid of his grip.
Yes there are many things Sam Rogers "can't" do:
Sam Rogers can't stop instilling fear in opposing teams.
Sam Rogers can't drop a pass.
Sam Rogers can't be tackled by less than 3 opposing players and even then he just falls over for fear of hurting them.
Sam Rogers can't work less than anyone else in practice.
Sam Rogers can't be anything less than a Effing badass.
See loads of things...
I wouldn't call it fear of hurting them so much as boredom with those 3 opposing players!
What I would do to see a Patrick Roy - Sam Rodgers fight. Sam would obviously win, but it would be entertaining.
That would end poorly for that Canadian.
