Ryan Pace has had some solid UDFA gems on this list, and Robertson-Harris is no different. Robertson-Harris was an oversized edge rusher who had to transform to a defensive line. He has taken to the challenge quickly and after one season on the practice squad moved his way up to the 53-man roster in 2017.
Robertson-Harris played in 212 snaps last season, about 20-30% per week. In his rotational role, he finished with two sacks. However, this season, Mitch Unrein has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The team drafted Bilal Nichols in round five, but Robertson-Harris should have the edge on him heading into camp. Jonathan Bullard will present a roadblock for snaps, but the two bring a bit of a different skill set.
Robertson-Harris will not be moving to a full-time starter role, but he will be seeing an increase in what his role was. He has yet to prove that he is a relied on player yet, but his trajectory has him set for another leap forward with this increase in role. Watch out for a potentially big season from Roy Robertson-Harris.
