One player who will be impacted by this move is Seth Roberts. When you look at the Baltimore Ravens 3,225 total yards through the air last year, Roberts accounted for 8.4% of them. Roberts (2 receiving TD’s) held an average of 16.9 yards per game receiving and he averaged 1.3 receptions per game. His longest reception last season went for 33 yards and he was able to catch 60.0% of the balls thrown to him. He caught 21 passes thrown his way (195th in the NFL) which means he averages 12.9 YPC.
