Shorter edge defender with huge hands and jarring upper-body power. Roberts' production is predicated upon his power, leverage and willful motor. Lower-body tightness creates inconsistencies through contact when he's not sitting down and ready to battle the block. He has heavy hands to thump run blockers but he's not a dynamic run defender by any measure. As a rusher, Roberts has shown the ability to cut a tight pathway into the pocket using leg drive to play through the edge of the tackle. He's missing a well-rounded game and desired traits, but his rush will give him an outside chance in camp.
