Reggie Rogers, a first-round NFL draft pick whose career stalled after he was sentenced to prison for a car crash that killed three teenagers, has died. He was 49. The King County Medical Examiner's Office said Friday it didn't have an immediate cause of death for Rogers, who died Thursday, because toxicology reports were pending. The Seattle Police Department was the investigating agency on the case, but a spokesman for the department declined to comment about Rogers, citing a policy to not identify victims. The former University of Washington defensive lineman had a troubled life and was arrested this month for investigation of domestic violence assault. His wife told police he hit her on the head with a flashlight in an argument about his drinking. Rogers had pleaded not guilty. Born on Jan. 21, 1964, in Sacramento, Calif., Reginald O'Keith Rogers had standout football and basketball careers at Washington. The Detroit Lions selected Rogers with the seventh pick in the 1987 draft, choosing him ahead of Hall of Fame defensive back Rod Woodson and quarterback Jim Harbaugh, now the coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
