Ravens 2020 free agency preview: WR Seth Roberts

Continuing our look at the Baltimore Ravens’ pending free agents this offseason, we focus our attention on wide receiver Seth Roberts.

Seth Roberts – Potential:

When speaking about a player’s potential, we usually want some sign of what they can hope to become in the next few seasons. But Seth Roberts will be 29 during the 2020 season and has been in the NFL for six seasons, meaning we pretty much know what type of player he is at this stage and can be confident about what type of player he’ll be moving forward.

Roberts has never had more than 45 receptions or 494 yards in a single season. After scoring five touchdowns in each of his first two seasons, he has scored a total of five combined in his last three. One would assume that he is an above-average blocker at his position considering how much Baltimore asks their wide receivers to block downfield in the run game, and his playing significant snaps on the league’s most run-heavy offense would support this assumption.

This is a skill that Roberts should be proud of, to be sure. But it’s not a fact that is going to help him put up massive receiving numbers.
