POD #4...............

OJ and  Njoku get the experts excited at the top of the TE class but there is one player that shouldn’t be overlooked. That player is Toledo TE Mike Roberts.  Why?  He has the best hands of any PLAYER in this draft.  In Mobile I could not believe the size of his hands.  They remind me of Jevon Kearses hands.  Roberts is 6’4” 260 so why am I obsessed with his hand size?  Roberts didn’t catch a lot of passes.  He finished 3rd on the team in receptions with 45 and 4th in yards at 533, but he did lead the team in TD catches with 16!!!!   80 percent of his career catches go for first downs and this season saw 35.5 percent of his catches go for touchdowns.  This kids hands in the red zone are nuts.  

At the Senior Bowl, Roberts weighed in at 6’4” 261 with 31 3/4” arms and 11 5/8” hands.  This hand size is larger than any TE in the NFL right now.  The lack of overwhelming production at a small school will drop Roberts an early Day 3 in this deep TE draft.
