Welcome to the 2020 NFL offseason and while 99 percent of the public focus will be on the Senior Bowl and the NFL Draft, teams will be doing their due diligence and checking under every rock for a possible contributor. This time, the rock is the Canadian Football League, and more specifically, star cornerback Tre Roberson. Many fans may recognize that name as he was the starting quarterback for the Indiana Hoosiers in from 2011-2013.

Roberson lost the starting quarterback gig at Indiana and eventually transferred to Illinois State and despite having a successful collegiate career on the offensive side of the ball, it was very apparent his NFL future would not be at QB. After going undrafted in 2016, Roberson was signed by the Minnesota Vikings and moved to cornerback. He showed strides throughout training camp and was on the Minnesota practice squad for portions of the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

After failing in the NFL, Roberson took his talents north of the border and was signed by the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. Although he played extensive minutes in 2018. Roberson elevated his play to All-CFL status in 2019 and was second in the league with seven interceptions.

This would be an exciting addition. Roberson has worked out with numerous teams and will have plenty of options. He is still learning the position as he has only played four seasons on the defensive side, with only two extensively. Roberson is still 27 years old, which should mean he is in his prime. He clearly has unique athleticism as evidenced by his college days as an elite dual-threat quarterback and despite being thin stands at 6 feet tall and has long arms.
