Best Answer

George Rogers, who won the 1980 Heisman Trophy as a running back for the University of South Carolina, played for the Washington Redskins from 1985 to 1987. He originally was selected by the New Orleans Saints in 1981 as the first overall selection of the NFL college draft. Rogers was announced as the starting running back for Washington in Super Bowl XXII against the Denver Broncos. But he did not play because of injuries. His replacement, running back Timmy Smith, set a new Super Bowl rushing record of 204 yards in the Redskins' 42-10 title win over the Broncos.
