If he isn't working out he will cut him or trade him. He did that with a player last year who was drafted in the latter rounds. I forget his nameI doubt belichick will cut him his first year

Looks like he plays really fast going downhill..... sideline to sideline though? Not so much from the highlights I've seen.
Watching highlights of the navy game, he seemed to be the qb spy against the triple option the whole game. He just gets in the backfield so quickly.
I don't see how he makes an immediate impact on D with his current skillset. Undersized to be playing LB on this team. Could be a nasty ST player or SS conversion if he isn't able to gain weight.
5'11" is tiny for a LB in today's NFLAwesome.
I'm going to cross-post my reply on the Binkies thread, this can be the official Elandon Roberts love thread now.

Elandon Roberts reminds me of Chris Borland coming out of Wisconsin in 2014. Undersized, phenomonal tackler and an incredible worker.
Stats comparison:
Borland put up amazing stats in his rookie season, after not even starting in September - 107 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INTs, 5 PDs.
There's a few obvious differences - Borland had a ridiculous 3 cone time at his pro day, despite running a very average 40, and his extra weight suited him to playing 3-4 ILB for San Francisco, whereas Roberts is definitely a 4-3 LB in our scheme.
UH's Elandon Roberts transforms himself into NFL prospect

Yes but Chris Borland has only been gone a year, that's not someone from the '60s.5'11" is tiny for a LB in today's NFL
They thought so.if he's really bad, then yes. i mean he has kept aaron dobson and kept jake bequette for a while and they added nothing.

It was Wells. Good call.I think it was Matthew Wells or Xzavier ****son to the Bears.
He weighs the same as Chancellor (everyone's measuring stick for a thumper SS). From what I've seen, OL tend to blow him up at the LOS when they get their hands on him. He's just gonna have to grow a lot in either skill or weight to play on D.Tedy Bruschi wasn't much different than Roberts.. Bruschi is 6'0 and was 240-250. That's what? 6-14 lbs difference? I could easily see him being a MLB/ILB on this team with his current skillset.
Yes, I see Roberts playing on special teams to start with, but no way he goes to playing SS.. That would require too much weight loss.
