May OTAs are not only a chance for rookies to prove themselves; it’s also a chance for young players to prove themselves, show how they’ve developed as football players, and ultimately earn a roster spot with the Detroit Lions.
One of those players fighting for a roster spot is third-year tight end Michael Roberts, who had a rather disappointing sophomore season in the NFL and was nowhere near the breakout tight end that some fans, including myself, predicted him to be.
This offseason may be the last chance to Roberts to prove that he belongs on this roster.
