Robertson Shot!

Bucs undrafted free agent Dominique Robertson was shot in the leg twice this past July 4th. Robertson, whom is bucs oline coach George Warhops nephew was a favorite of RBT to make a run at a roster spot but after this it will be hard to see him push to make the roster. Robertson who has all the size and athleticism to be an NFL lineman, seems as if he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Bucs put out a statement regarding the situation:

"We are aware of the reports concerning Dominique Robertson. We can confirm that he has been released from the hospital and is at home resting. We are in the process of gathering more information, but our primary concern is for Dominique's health and well-being."

Hope Robertson has a speedy recovery but looks as if his opportunity has come and gone as a Buccaneer.

Who is Dominique Robertson?

One of the undrafted free agents that caught my eye the most is West Georgia LT Dominique Robertson and its for good reason. He's a full grown man standing 6'5 324, with 36 inch long arms. Robertson fits the eye test for an NFL lineman for sure but is he a looks like Tarzan plays like Jane type of player?

Robertson had a long path to get to the NFL as he went through community college, a quick stint with Texas Tech, then down to division II school West Georgia. He dominated his competition at West Georgia as his shear size and brute strength (30 bench reps of 225) could push around smaller and less athletic players. He was noticed by the bucs most likely from his play but he's also the nephew of bucs o-line coach George Warhop. Having a family member like that helps even that much more in trying to make a roster.

Here with the bucs he's going to have a hard uphill battle as the o-line may be the strongest position on the roster. It seems as if he will switch to guard to start his NFL journey as his uncle George Warhop stated, per Rick Stroud of Tampa Bay Times.

"We're looking at him inside,'' Warhop said. "He was more of a tackle in college. He'll spin his way inside for us. He's a powerful kid. He plays a powerful game and he's got really good quickness, which is what we want inside, now we like to play and pull our guys and get them in space and that fits him.''

Robertson fits the perfect physical specimen of a mauling guard, lets see if he can put all of his gifts together and get a spot on the roster.
