The Facts: The Panthers came out of the draft with a need for a return man, and brought in one of the best in the league Monday. The team agreed to a one-year deal with Roberts.

Diehards Line: The 34-year-old Roberts was an All-Pro pick three times in the last four seasons, and led the league in kickoff return yards last year (1,010, with two teams). His 8,578 combined return yards (kickoff and punt) are the most of any player in the league since 2010. He had a 101-yard touchdown return on a kickoff for the Chargers last year, evidence he's still able to make big plays. He has career averages of 26.0 yards per kickoff return, and 8.7 yards per punt return. The Panthers averaged just 22.1 yards per kickoff return last year, 17th in the league in that category.
