After Seth Roberts spent his rookie season on the practice squad, he made the Oakland Raiders active roster last week, and while the excitement of fulfilling his NFL dream took over momentarily, the young wide receiver said that it’s now time to get back to business.
“The past year has been a grind, man,” said Roberts. “I really haven’t even tried to change my mentality. I’m not complacent and think that I’m better because I’m not on the practice squad anymore. I take the same reps and just try to keep the same approach.”
Following the league-mandated cut to 53 players, the Raiders, along with the 31 other NFL clubs began assembling their 10-man practice squads – a group of players who practice and train with the team, but do not count towards the active roster.
