I've heard good things about his work ethic too, which is exciting really. You look at what he was able to do this year as a first year player and can't help but be excited for what is yet to come. Reliable, if not extraordinary tackler, with great athleticism and a very competitive attitude. Winning formula if you'd ask me.

Bradley Roby is a monster, easily one of the more reliable corners on our defense.

You can trust this guy to make his tackles and is also very aggressive from his corner position. He can come up and help with the run game at any time.

He also has very good coverage skills and plays the ball in the air very well. Amazing Corner. Deserves some acknowledgement.

I agree but, "easily one of the more reliable corners on our defense." is funny because we only have 2 corners on defense at a time(sometimes 3 if we nickel that way).

But yeah, Roby's got the it factor.

He still needs to wrap up and not rely on big hits all the time...

Maybe I am just watching the wrong guy but I would say 90% of the time Roby does wrap up. I know Bryant doesn't. He goes for the big hits.

But there are times were I may not have my eyes glued on who wraps up and who doesn't so Roby may go for the big hit every once in a while. But most of the time I see this kid form tackling.

Roby is the best tackler in our secondary. Much better than Barnett, Bryant, and Howard.
