The Patriots selected Roberts in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 214th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts wasn't a big name heading into the draft, but he was extremely productive for a good Houston defense in 2015. He finished his 14-game season with 142 tackles (19 for a loss) and six sacks. He also showed very good athleticism at the Houston pro day, running a 4.60 40 and posting a 120-inch broad jump.
