Notre Dame star and 2012 NFL Draft selection Michael Floyd joined the Arizona Cardinals with much fanfare, but Arizona Republic reporter Kent Somers reported that another young wideout is the early front runner to work as No. 2 to All Pro Larry Fitzgerald. Andre Roberts is entering his third season in the NFL since making the leap from small, military academy The Citadel. His role with the Cardinals increased each of his first two campaigns since being drafted No. 88 in 2010, and this summer is shaping up as a downright vital cog in the offense.
Roberts is trying to follow in the footsteps of other Division I-AA/Championship Subdivision products who carved prominent places in the pros, like Victor Cruz and Terrell Owens. Saturday Blitz Content? Be sure to sign up for daily updates:
