Early life

[edit]

John P. Rogan was born on January 30, 1960, in New York City.[1] He attended Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York.[1]

College career

[edit]

Rogan was a member of the Yale Bulldogs of Yale University from 1978 to 1981 and a three-year letterman from 1979 to 1981.[2][1] He split time with senior Dennis Dunn during his sophomore year in 1979, completing 40 of 96 passes (41.7%) for 686 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions while also scoring four rushing touchdowns.[3][4] Rogan became the team's primary starter in 1980, recording 55 completions on 117 passing attempts (47.0%) for 891 yards, nine touchdowns, and seven interceptions, and two rushing touchdowns.[5][4] As a senior in 1981, Rogan completed 95 of 192 passes (49.5%) for 1,267 yards, 12 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while also running for four touchdowns.[4] He was an economics/political science major at Yale.[6]

Professional career

After going undrafted in the 1982 NFL draft, Rogan signed with the New York Jets on June 17, 1982.[7] He was released on September 6, 1982.[7]

Rogan signed with the Montreal Concordes of the Canadian Football League on September 9, 1982.[7] He dressed in one game for the Concordes that year but did not record any statistics.[1] Going into the 1983 season, Rogan was expected to be the Concordes' fourth-string quarterback.[6] However, after injuries to Luc Tousignant, inconsistency from Mike Calhoun, and a broken collarbone from projected starter Johnny Evans, Rogan became the team's starter during training camp.[6] He started the team's first game of the season against the Saskatchewan Roughriders but was benched in the second half for the newly-acquired Ron Reeves.[8] Overall, Rogan dressed in the first three games of the season, starting one, and completed 12 of 25 passes (48%) for 108 yards and two interceptions before being released on July 25, 1983.[7][1]
