titanskick8851 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 With the news of Mettenberger getting released came the note that former Montana WR Ben Roberts has been signed. For more info read this: http://missoulian.com/sports/college/montana/griz-wr-ben-roberts-gets-free-agent-deal-with-nfl/article_2c2ee250-78ea-51b3-bf73-1c4274ad8bed.html Roberts was a graduate transfer this year for Montana after playing four years for the Washington State Cougar baseball team. He is 6-4, 215 lbs. This year he had 66 catches, for 649 yards and 5 touchdowns in his only year of College Football. I think he definitely could have some untapped potential. He was drafted in seventh round of the MLB draft in 2011 by the Arizona Diamondback, but opted to go to WSU instead. What do you think? I think he definitely gets an extended look in camp and he obviously impressed them enough for them to decide he was worth a roster spot more than Mett. I make the comparison to Drew Bennett because he is a huge target who is very raw (Bennett was a QB at UCLA) and went undrafted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Who knows but Bennett was one of my favorite Titans. I always thought he could've had some big years but he had bad timing, just when he hit his peak McNair lost it physically & then he had a developing VY at QB & some injuries. He was everything Hunter isn't at high pointing deep balls, he was excellent at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepingTitan Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 He probably should have played baseball. He's pretty slow. IDK...maybe he could be a possession guy. Very low reps @225. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't see the need to talk about any UDFAs until at least a few days into training camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Both tall, lanky white guys wearing 83, UDFA, with almost no one thinking they will make the team. So far, there's an analogy, but until he starts shining during preseason, it's hard to make a full comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Before all the injuries & ailments, Drew Bennett was a top5 athlete on the Titans (running a marathon on a day's notice, +40in vert?!) who made his way from nowhere to a couple of decent contracts. If this guy could be anything like Drew that would be like found money. http://espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3747614 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
