Roberts

Posted: 2/1/2012 11:07:47 PM

I've seen NFL Draft highlight reels not as an impressive as that one. First, junior year film shows a run-oriented offense where all he does is pancake defensive ends up and down the field. I'm thinking blocking tight end. The senior film, though, shows him split wide running past and around DBs in a pretty good league, dragging feet on the sideline, going deep, going over the middle... Oh, and just when you think he's going around you for a pattern, he flattens you into the turf with his 240-lb frame. He's a matchup nightmare in a no-huddle. How do you substitution pattern this guy? Put a LB on him and your doomed. Put a DB on him, same result. And Tanner, practically the same thing. I mean, if you can run a no huddle and go four wide or two tight end sets without subbing, that's pretty tough to defend.

He looks of the same mold as Vernon Davis,Gronkowski,Hernandez,Anderson types..tight ends with WR capabilities..mismatches all over the field!

I agree. He was one that appeared much better than I expected. He had great balance as well, and very good hands. He reminded me of a guy named Johnny Mitchell, to be honest (1st round draft choice in 1992). He is going to be a tough guy for a defense to match up with, for sure.

This guy in the slot in a year or two should be a MONSTER if used like Sanu..I really think they need him on the offensive side.

There are guys out there with that kind of athleticism, but when you have a guy that big, that mobile, and with good balance and hands, they often pick roundball. I can easily see him as a power forward.
