You can't just put on weight out of thin air. I was one of the people who believed Zion had an NFL frame. Rogers has an extremely thin lower half.
The point isn't to tear him down and say he sucks. The point is his lack of size explains why certain schools aren't interested and he's falling on 247 ranks. It's not that you can't be good at that size it's moreso that it limits your options for scheme and skillset. He's more of an off-man, press-bail and zone corner.
Athleticism and length is not an issue for him. He's not short with short arms and average-ish traits like the Samuel types - I didn't like Samuel and imo he's just a zone corner. He's just not gonna be a physical presence pressing at the line or in run support (but he can still get the job done as a cut tackler like you see in his highlights). If he signs with Miami it's up to the coaches to develop him. As I said his ceiling is an Adoree Jackson type.
He has plenty to work with. I agree. When you know how the rankings work and you know it’s not based on straight talent/skill then you would kind of agree with him falling a little bit because of his think lower half. It’s heigh/weight athleticism ranking scale.. then they account for production
