Toledo TE Michael Roberts: "He's 6-5, almost 270, and he runs better than that. He's got surprising speed and hands. I liked him on tape and I liked him out here today."

Also said Carolina interviewed him after practice.  

Anyone seen him play?  Thoughts

No, but I will be looking at him closely.

Never heard of him, but always appreciate the little tidbits this time of year.

Saw him play against Appalachian State in the Camelia Bowl. He had one TD which he caught short and simply threw the smaller defenders trying to tackle him to the ground. Other than that he was really quiet which was likely due to the offensive game plan of trying to attack App's zone scheme down the seams. App's defense was pretty fast this year which wouldn't leave room for them to utilize him up the middle of the field as the ends would most likely have hit home by that point.

Michael Roberts, TE, Toledo

Prepare yourself around Combine time.  You are likely to hear significant media talk about the ridiculous size of Michael Roberts hand measurement that might break Combine records.  Moving on, in a very strong looking tight end class for the 2017 draft, Roberts is not going to be discussed among the top prospects at the position, but is going to be a very useful pick up in the later rounds.  It may surprise to know that Roberts is leading all TEs nationally in touchdown receptions, having grabbed 12 scores in just 10 games so far this season, which is in fact good enough for tied-6th overall, wide receivers included.

According to the official Shine Week physical results, Roberts is 6'4 and weighs 259 pounds.

Fun tidbit is that he has the largest hands at Shine week with 11 5/8 inches. I don't know how much that correlates to being able to catch the ball but the man has monster hands.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
