BYU's Chase Roberts. Now, he has a good feel for cutback lanes when he's in the middle of the field after the catch... He's really good at placing... really good at pressing blockers within a step and he splits defenders to run the cutbacks... he's going to be more of that intermediate vertical underneath receiver... you're going to see him as kind of a Tim Patrick, Eric Decker like receiver

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Roberts' after-catch processing and cutback feel fit Tim Patrick archetype.

Waldman scouts Roberts as a strong after-catch processor with excellent feel for cutback lanes and blocker placement. Roberts maximizes deep speed by veering to opposite field sides to force cornerbacks into tight pursuit over 25–30 yards, and he splits defenders effectively on cutbacks. Waldman projects Roberts as an intermediate vertical underneath receiver who stretches middle zones while working underneath safeties or cornerbacks—a Tim Patrick/Eric Decker archetype. His after-catch skills and field awareness make him valuable in schemes requiring yardage generation on intermediate routes.
