Roberts’ final two college seasons showcased his dramatic growth, with 17.5 sacks, 93 tackles, and four forced fumbles. He transformed from a reserve player to team captain and defensive leader. His East-West Shrine Bowl appearance gave NFL scouts a front-row seat to his skills in action against top draft prospects.
This is a project pick for the Bucs. Roberts most likely will be a decent rotational player. Look for the Bucs to play Roberts more as a Defensive Lineman rather than EDGE Rusher. A great comparison would be to Will Gholston.
Make no mistake, Roberts can get after the quarterback. But there are a lot of things he needs to work on.
