Big-bodied possession receiver who wins with size, positioning, and route savvy rather than explosive athleticism. Roberts uses his 6-3, 209-pound frame to box out defenders and makes tough contested grabs through contact — he's a legitimate combat-catch threat at the intermediate level and in the red zone. The problem is everything else: a 4.64 forty confirms what the tape already showed, which is that he lacks the speed or quickness to separate against NFL corners on vertical routes or out of press, and 8 drops on 54 catches in 2025 raises real hands-consistency concerns. At 25 years old entering the league, he's closer to a finished product than a developmental piece, which limits the upside — but his route technique, size, and competitive toughness give him a real shot to stick as a WR4/WR5 who contributes in the red zone and on possession downs.
- Prototypical size (6-3, 209) with long arms and big catch radius — uses his frame effectively to shield defenders at the catch point
- Above-average route technique with good disguise; runs the full route tree at the short and intermediate levels with clean breaks
- Competitive combat-catch winner who plays tough through contact and excels on back-shoulder throws and contested sideline grabs
- Experienced four-year starter with leadership credentials (two-time team captain) and maturity beyond his draft class peers
- Below-average speed (4.64 forty, 34th of 34 WRs at combine) severely limits vertical separation ability and long-term upside as an outside receiver
- Inconsistent hands — dropped 17 passes against 169 career receptions (10% career drop rate), including 8 drops on 54 catches in 2025
- Not a dynamic runner after the catch; limited elusiveness and tackle-breaking ability in space
- Advanced age (25 entering the NFL) due to two-year mission limits developmental runway and compresses his productive window
Big-bodied, reliable possession target who contributes in specific packages with route savvy and toughness rather than athleticism. Limited ceiling as a complementary piece, but professional approach and size give him a chance to carve out a role.
