2009 Countdown: #46 Roy Roundtree

Name: Roy Roundtree
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 170 lbs.
High School: Trotwood-Madison High School in Trotwood, OH
Position: Slot receiver
Class: RS freshman
Jersey Number: #12
Prediction for 2009: Backup slot receiver

Roundtree showed in the spring game that he can be a dangerous receiver (2 TDs); however, both those scores came against second- and third-string defenders. It's practically assured that Roundtree will be behind incumbent starter Martavious Odoms; the bigger question is whether he'll be second, third, or lower on the depth chart. I think he'll get the second-most reps at slot receiver, but he's probably not going to run the same kind of routes as someone like Odoms because Roundtree isn't as elusive. Roundtree is more of an outside wide receiver who's playing in the slot, and he'll give Rodriguez and Co. some different options if he comes into the game.
