Rodney Rogers Open the Gate Video

If you were not at the Wake Forest-Elon football game last Saturday, you missed out on a great moment when former Deacon basketball great Rodney Rogers was the Open the Gate honoree.

Confined to a wheelchair after an ATV accident last November, Rogers waited at midfield as the Deacons ran out of the gate and huddled around him.

You can still check out the Open the Gate video that details Rogers' basketball career.
