Long shot players have to be near perfect to make a roster, like Wayne Chrebet was in the summer of 1995.
The anointed players can make a ton of mistakes, and still make the team.
One of the saddest things I saw tonight was rookie wide receiver Zach Rogers leaving the locker room
He looked disconsolate.
He fumbled a punt late in the game that the Philadelphia Eagles recovered.
He also dropped a pass.
These are the kind of plays that can stick in your craw the rest of your life.
Honestly, if it’s any consolation, and I don’t mean this to be flip, but I don’t think Rogers was going to make the team, regardless of what he did tonight.
I doubt that eases the pain.
