My sympathy to his family.

Nick Rogers, a linebacker who played on special teams for the Green Bay Packers in 2004, has died in a one-car accident. He was 30.

Rogers was killed about 1:30 a.m. Monday when his car hit a utility pole in College Park, near Atlanta, The Fulton County Medical Examiners office said.

Rogers, a 250-pound linebacker, spent four years in the NFL with Minnesota, Green Bay, Indianapolis and Miami.

He started 16 games in each of two years with the Vikings in 2002 and 2003. The next season he was with the Packers for 10 games and the Colts for one. His last NFL season was 2005 three games with the Dolphins.

Rogers was mostly a special teams player for the Packers, who picked him up at the beginning of the 2004 season after he waived by the Vikings. The Packers released Rogers at midseason, then re-signed him three days later.

He most recently played for Colorado of the Arena Football League in 2008.

Rogers had 16 sacks as a defensive end at Georgia Tech and was drafted in the sixth round by the Vikings in 2002.

A forensics specialist once told me that the dirty, unspoken secret behind those events euphemistically referred to as "single-car collisions" is that they are usually determined to be suicides.
