"His elite production came late, but Jamal Roberts's ability to break tackles and generate yards after contact is undeniable. He's almost never brought down by the first defender and has the long speed to turn it into a massive gain. Despite his limited starting experience and minimal role in the passing game, his potential in pass protection gives him a clear path to a three-down role. Roberts projects as a solid starting running back with the potential to lead a committee."

A 6-foot, 216-pound St. Louis native who waited behind Ahmad Hardy, then took over Missouri's backfield in 2026 with 828 yards, eight touchdowns and back-to-back 200-yard games against Florida and Texas A&M.

What he does well
  • 01Yards after contact — 465 of his first 606 yards this season came after contact, and in 2025 it was 480 of 753; the first tackler rarely finishes him.
  • 02Home-run finish — Runs of 64, 77 and 80 yards in 2026 show real long speed once he clears the second level.
