Of all the under-the-radar wide receivers on the roster, Reggie Roberson Jr. is the one who personally intrigues me the most.

If Roberson can stay healthy, the former Mustang offers the type of blazing speed that can take the top off a defense at any moment, something the Titans’ offense has desperately been yearning for.
Robb Moore said he went band looked Reggie Roberson’s junior tape and noticed his explosiveness pre-injury. That’s the player he feels the #Titans can get.

The SMU product also adds value to the short passing and return games. Prior to some unfortunate injury mishaps, Roberson accumulated 301 kick return yards and one touchdown on nine return attempts (33.4 YPR) in college.
In total, Roberson caught 168 passes for 2,704 yards (16.1 YPC) and 23 touchdowns during his time at SMU.

Roberson’s best chance to earn himself a spot on the roster may come via the return game, an area he has seen reps in during training camp. He was also listed as a backup returner on Tennessee’s first unofficial depth chart.
Several reports have indicated that Roberson has performed well throughout camp. If he is able to combine those good practices with a strong preseason performance, the former SMU star could set himself up to possibly have a practice squad spot at the very least.
