Always good to see FCS guys succeed at the next level. Roberts is a great receiver.

"Even while many wondered if Andre Roberts would come around, the Cardinals ‘ coaching staff insisted he was better than was given credit."

I have been saying the same thing over on my AZ Sports board since he was drafted - had all the usual "small school" detractors, which is ironic given that one of the greatest Cardinals was from The Citadel, and a UNI player led them to the Super Bowl

Right now I think the biggest inhibitor to Andre (and Fitz as well) is Skelton. I don't know why he got the starting job, after all he seemed to do early in the preseason was check down on the WRs and then threw to the TE.

Kolb goes in and suddenly they find a way to win. He definitely looks for Andre more than Skelton does.

Is Hightower still with the Cards? Kind of lost track of him.

Skelton had a decent first half, crappy second half.

In past years, Roberts was Skelton's favorite reciever.

No - he went to the Redskins, and was released this year.
