Personal Life
Craig is married to Vernessia (high school sweetheart) and has five children Damesha, Rometra, Rogdrick, Alexander and Nia- Jai. They live in Portola Valley, CA.
Craig spent several years studying Tae Kwon Do under Chris Jensen & Debbie Pederson at Golden State Tae Kwon Do in Foster City (now in San Carlos).
He currently works in marketing at Tibco Software in Palo Alto, California.
Craig is an avid runner and has participated in numerous marathons. He was the Grand Marshal for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
During his 49ers career he was nicknamed "Catfish" for his wide-eyed expression during runs. It earned him ribbing from his teammates when coach Bill Walsh would organize fishing trips to a lake near the Niners training facility: Walsh would joke "If you catch Roger, you don't get the hundred bucks." A painting of a catfish with a football and wearing a Craig jersey was commissioned and hung in the Niners locker room.
