Raiders signed WR Chase Roberts.

28 April 2026

Roberts (6’3”/209) is a fifth-year prospect who served an LDS mission after high school from 2019 to 2021, meaning he will be 25 years old in his rookie season. He showed steady improvement over his four seasons at BYU, with his best season coming in 2024, when he caught 52 passes for 854 yards and four touchdowns. Roberts isn’t known for his speed and quickness (4.64 40-yard dash), but is refined enough as a route-runner to make up for some of those things, although he has struggled at times against press coverage. Roberts has shown reliable hands for most of his career. Despite an abnormally high 12.5 percent drop rate last season, he also caught 65.7 percent of his contested targets over the last two seasons and had a 4.9 percent drop rate from 2022 to 2024. He closed out his career with back-to-back 800-yard seasons and displayed good versatility to play both out wide and in the slot. Roberts has the toughness and leadership qualities of an NFL receiver and will impress coaches with his efforts in camp. His advanced age relative to other players fighting to make Vegas’ receiving room could hurt him, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he eventually made his way onto a 53-man roster.
