02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Roby is a high-level athlete at the cornerback position, best suited for systems that primarily play Cover 3 or Cover 4, allowing him to use his speed and athleticism more freely.

Boundary CBCover 3 CBNickel Back
Best role

Year 1 slot or boundary rotational CB with upside to develop into a long-term starter with proper refinement.

Wrong fit

Man-heavy schemes that demand consistent press technique and footwork, where his occasional struggles with contact and quick-twitch receivers could be exploited.

A fluid athlete with good size and elite speed for the position, Roby projects as a versatile defensive back who can contribute in multiple coverage schemes.

04The evaluation

Selected #31 overall in Round 1 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Denver Broncos out of Ohio State.
