Detroit Lions Postseason Grades: Wide Receiver
By Matt Urben
Andre Roberts – 7th-year WR – Citadel
Grade: C+
Yards: 14 Catches, 188 Yards, 1 TD
Roberts drove some Lions fans crazy by constantly taking kick returns out of the end zone and getting tackled well before the 25. However, he had a couple of touchdowns, plus came up with some big catches during Stafford’s many comebacks. Roberts was valuable in his willingness to do anything that was asked of him.
Production from veterans like Roberts and Boldin made it easy to see why Bob Quinn chose to ignore the wide receiver position in the NFL Draft. It would likely be wise for Quinn to add a wide receiver late this draft, just to inject the position with some youth and create more depth/competition.
