	Simple life suits former Husker Rozier 12/13/03 HuskersHQ
		Rozier, 42, came close to not waking up ever again seven years ago when he stepped between a gun and a friend in a street quarrel on a November night in his hometown of Camden.
		So Rozier took a few bullets for his friend, lived to tell the tale and stayed away from the kind of trouble that killed so many people he had known growing up in Camden, a South Jersey city with 200 liquor stores, 200 churches and far too many guns and drugs.
		The trophy and his talent brought Rozier a $3 million contract as the No. 1 draft choice of Pittsburgh in the USFL in 1984, $200,000 the following year with Jacksonville of the same league, and a four-year deal reportedly worth $1.4 million with Houston in the NFL later in 1985.
