Schefter added that Roberson chose the Bears over nine other teams that were vying for his services and that Chicago is expected to give Roberson the largest compensation since Cameron Wake.

Roberson had a standout 2019 campaign with the Stampeders, tallying 41 tackles and seven interceptions — two of which he returned for touchdowns — while playing 16 games at the field corner spot.

He spent two years with the Stamps, totalling 95 tackles, 10 interceptions and two forced fumbles in 31 career games.

Roberson was named a West Division and CFL All-Star for the first time in 2019. He also helped Calgary capture the 106th Grey Cup presented by Shaw in 2018.

Prior to joining the Stampeders, Roberson had a brief stint with the Minnesota Vikings, who invited him to a tryout following the 2016 NFL Draft.

The 27-year-old split his collegiate career between Indiana and Illinois State. Roberson made the switch from quarterback to defensive back following his final year in the NCAA.
