Chase Roberts

No. 86 · Rookie

Nobody drafted Chase Roberts. The Las Vegas Raiders still wanted him.

The draft is a weird thing. Hundreds of players go through it every year, and the ones who don't hear their name called have a choice to make.

Chase Roberts played wide receiver at BYU, where he caught enough attention to be called an intriguing prospect — the kind of player scouts notice but front offices aren't quite ready to bet a pick on. That gap between noticed and chosen is its own kind of pressure.

The Las Vegas Raiders decided he was worth a shot, signing Roberts as an undrafted free agent. No guarantee, no draft capital behind him — just a roster spot and a chance to prove the draft was wrong.

For undrafted players, nothing is given. Every day of practice is an audition, and the margin for error is basically zero. Roberts arrives in Las Vegas with something to run toward.
