Report:  Roberts has elite ball skills as he intercepted 9 passes last year as a junior (returned 2 for TDs).  He's got great speed which makes him a threat on special teams (6 TDs) in addition to the secondary.   Roberts also shows on video that he has very fluid hips which makes him great in man coverage.  The biggest knock on Roberts is his lack of height at 5'9.  Also, he plays on a great high school team and in some cases, the passes he intercepted were more of a result of the QB being under extreme pressure.  So while there are some questions around Roberts, coaches obviously see a lot of potential in Roberts with all the offers from premier programs.
