Panthers sign Andre Roberts

[TheSpecialJuan]

He's been one of the best in the business for years now

Was excited because I know he has been a multi-time pro bowler and all-pro, but damn...  I did not know he was 34 now.  Wow!  Still excited though, because even at 34, he will get us way more than The Human Fair Catch did all last season.  Great pickup this late.

Haha uh you clearly know nothing about him. 

I knew he was old as dirt. I didn't think he was still playing. He was trying to be a legit receiver many years ago, but it didn't work out.

The 34-year-old Roberts was an All-Pro pick three times in the last four seasons, and led the league in kickoff return yards last year (1,010, with two teams). His 8,578 combined return yards (kickoff and punt) are the most of any player in the league since 2010.

  But he was not 34 when he did those things. According to my smart phone, he will be 35 within a year.

Panthers GM Scott Fitterer said after the draft he wanted to add a kick returner and he got a good one. Carolina signed Andre Roberts, 34, an All-Pro pick three times in the last four seasons. Roberts led the league in kickoff return yards last year with 1,010. His 8,578 combined return yards are the post of any player in the league since 2010. He is from Columbia, South Carolina and attended The Citadel.

With Hecker and now Roberts added, our special teams have gotten a much needed boost.
