An injured wrist in the preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers ended Roberts’ rookie campaign before it started. And it was really a shame, because Roberts stood out in training camp and was in good standing to make the final roster.

Throughout training camp, Roberts showed excellent ball skills and separated himself from a group of veterans vying to replace the then-depleted Patriots’ cornerback group. As it stands right now, Roberts should be considered a likely Week 1 depth option.

Roberts could rise into the No. 3 role with a full offseason of practice and another solid training camp. Standing at six feet tall, he could even contend with Logan Ryan for snaps on the outside.

Roberts is definitely a sophomore pro to keep an eye on as the 2016 approaches.
