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.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
