About Roberts Updated Jul 24, 2026

rangy, high-upside Marshall DB whose Pro Day speed and agility turned heads

Roberts stands out as an athletic, versatile defensive back whose 2025 Pro Day reportedly showed top-7 safeties-level numbers in speed, strength, and agility drills, helping explain why he earned a shot with Tampa Bay after going undrafted. He also had a legitimate roster path before a knee injury in camp, which is a key durability concern, but the performance profile suggests a player with real NFL traits: burst, movement skills, and enough range to compete as a free safety. For a team, he looks like a worthwhile fit if you value upside and special-teams-friendly athleticism over polished production.
