How did he end up going undrafted? Same with Purifoy and Victor Hampton of USCe.

I thought they were 3-4th rounders at the latest.

People finally realized purifoy was overrated AF. On Roberson, only thing I have is he missed half of last yr on drug suspension. Has character issues.

Teams were concerned with Marcus Roberson's speed...well, some were.

Not enough to keep him out of the draft.

You'd still think he'd get a chance, Roberson that is.


I thought he was one of the more instinctual players in the SEC

Yeah I thought Roberson was pretty good. I'm jelly of the CB's UF has gotten over the past few years.

Yeah, I am sure he will sing a FA deal with somebody. Kid has enough talent to get a shot from some team. The again, there may be red flags that we don't know about.

Bama has had 2 first round CB picks since 2011. How many has UF had?

I'm talking about Haden, Jenkins(even tho he had to transfer), and now VH3. Simply meant they develop CBs very well.

Dre and Dee were great and I think they'll be successful in the league, too. Both seemed to play well late this past season.

Not even close. The way he dropped you'd think he punched one of the GMs during an interview or something. Ridiculous the way he fell.

He didn't wow at the combine has drug issues and suspension issues. Even his recruitment had question marks. He is similar to Seantrell Henderson in why he fell except Roberson has more production but less athleticism

I wonder who the media will hype to the moon this offseason. Purifoy was at the top of everybody's list then completely dissappeared. Same with Roby, as he was horrible this year but still somehow got drafted in the first round. I know he has the measurables and the athleticism, but you need much more than that.

Probably VH3 as far as UF is concered. Not like we can hype our quarterback up

Both Purifoy and Roberson ran 4.61 at the combine which I am sure didn't help their cause.
