As we continue through the Dallas Cowboys’ undrafted free agents, we come on the third of four receiver signings the Cowboys made. This one being from Wake Forrest in the ACC. Jaquarii Roberson. Roberson earned quite a few accolades in his time at Wake Forrest including numerous pre-season 1st team All-ACC selections, a couple of award watch lists, and back-to-back years as finishing as a second-team All-ACC.
He was quite the productive receiver for the Demon Deacons, as his three touchdowns in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl mark the most in Demon Deacon history. Roberson holds the program record for yards per game in a single season, averaging 102.9 yards per game in 2020, and he tied for the school record with four consecutive 100-plus yard receiving games. He has the production to warrant a signing by the Cowboys, but does the film tell us he might make the roster? Let’s take a look and find out.
