    Kid already caught my attention as I'd seen some nice reviews on him.

    SI.com: "The small school prospect showed big time pass-catching skills all week. He's a complete receiver that displayed terrific route running skills besides great hands. Roberts had some of the best senior cornerbacks in the nation twisted like pretzels as they tried to stay with him on the field. His performance in Mobile will move Roberts into the draft's top 100 selections."

    NFLDraftScout.com: "A receiver on the rise is Roberts. Measuring in at 5-11, 192 pounds was a bit of a surprise, as scouts expected him to be closer to 5-10, 180. His quickness has not been hurt by the added weight, and his routes were outstanding. Roberts has the feet to run effective comeback routes, the suddenness to free himself on slants, and the vertical to leap up and grab a high pass on the sideline. Typically one FCS receiver is selected in the top 100, and it looks like Roberts fits that ball in the 2010 draft." - Rob Rang and Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

    Nice to know he's getting the scouts attention at the Senior bowl.
    He seems to be shooting up draftboards and he may be there around late 3rd early-mid 4th...

    In essence great route runner with soft hands + punt returner (15.5 average).
    5'11" for 190lbs... he can be our black Welker :p
