CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) – For the past 10 months almost everything related to James Rodgers’ football career has been outside of his control.
Seriously injured last Oct. 9 at Arizona, the flanker from Richmond, Texas, underwent two knee surgeries and watched helplessly on crutches as the Beavers stumbled to a 5-7 season.
Since then, Oregon State’s all-time leader in all-purpose yardage has seen the Beavers disregarded in the media. He is aware that people outside the program are writing him off. He also knows that key decisions about his future will be made by others: his doctors and his coaches.
So Rodgers has gotten through fall camp the same way he has gotten through all those months of rehab – by focusing on things he can control.
