Great recognition. Scouts are raving about the fact he's playing in two of the most prestigious all-star games. Could have the chance to get drafted high and early.

I was wondering why he was flying under the radar. Athletic, 6-5 270lb TE's with great body control, soft hands that can block don't come around very often. If he does well at the combine and runs a sub 4-6 forty he will be the 2nd TE drafted after OJ Howard.

No he wont. He'll go 5th round. Lots of holds on run plays in his game tape.

Thats coachable. Scouts will rate him higher based on his production, soft hands, measurables and potential. Hell I watched Eric Ebron get drafted #10 by the Lions and the story on him was he couldn't catch... Thats not coachable.. you either can catch or you can't. He still can't catch. I bet he starts to rise up the boards, if he does well at the combine and all star games.

Roberts is going to soar up the boards if he performs well in these next few months leading up to the draft. He's playing in the two best all-star games, and he was invited to the Combine...those are three incredible opportunities to impress a ton of scouts.

Roberts with another catch on a short out, tosses 1 defender out of bounds, breaks the tackle of the 2nd, and then runs over a 3rd to get a first down!

I particularly like that Michael ran over a Michigan tackler for the first down. Yeah!! Go Rockets!
Fellow was really impressed with Roberts, but concludes his lack of speed holds him back from being a top prospect. Still thinks he will play on Sundays.
Also has an assessment of Norton. Says good things about him, but sights a lot of inconsistency in his play.
