I read on Sando's blog that Tate was already shining in Seahawks camp.

I'm hoping Roberts can provide a similar spark immediately. But I love our first 3 recievers so as long as he is dynamic returning punts its all good.

Plus I hear he played at the Citadel so....... ;)

What does the word "citadel" stand for? I see Roberts ending the season if healthy, with 50-60 catches-700+- yds, 5-6 tds; 3+ Tds on PR-ST... D-y-n-a-m-i-c-

Reports are all over the board on this guy. If he has all the tools to play in the NFL right away -- the "hands, speed, balance and skill after the catch" -- then why wasn't he more highly regarded?

I hope he's as good as everyone is saying, I just have my doubts.

Probably for the same reasons why John Randle was overlooked. Who knows, as you and I know you cannot always know what is in a book until you read what is in them.:sad:

It's a military school in Charleston, SC.

It's one of the few schools in America that gives graduates a direct commission after college to be an officer in the United States Army. It's a decent school (hyped up more than it should be just like West Point) in a great city.

Because he impressed during his time at the school AND the senior bowl?

Watch his tape.

Look at his numbers.

Listen to the analysis of the Senior Bowl.

Sorry, the joke must have missed. I was just trying to turn the citadel answer on its ear.

I'm excited about this kid, even if I didn't think it was a position we ought to have been drafting in the 3rd.
