Arizona Cardinals

Roberts was taken in the third round with the 88th overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2010 NFL Draft.[10]

Roberts started out his rookie season playing limited time as a punt returner. As the season went on, Roberts started playing more snaps and started to move into the second receiver slot. He caught his first NFL touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings, a 27–24 loss in OT. He caught his second NFL touchdown, a 74-yard completion, on Christmas Day against the Dallas Cowboys, a game that was won in the last minute 27–26.

Washington Redskins

On March 11, 2014, Roberts and the Washington Redskins agreed to terms on a four-year contract, worth roughly $16 million.[11][12] The contract was finalized the next day.[13] Later that month, Roberts made a $12,000 donation to the Kirk Cousins Football Camp, allowing Roberts the rights to wear number 12, which he wore for four seasons in Arizona.[14] He originally signed with the intention to be the Redskins' number two wide receiver, opposite of Pierre Garçon, but became the number three receiver after the signing of DeSean Jackson. He also became the team's new return specialist.[15]

In the Week 4, 45–14 loss against the New York Giants, Roberts scored one of the only two Redskins' scores in the game after catching an 18-yard pass from Cousins.[16] It was his first touchdown with the Redskins.

In Week 11 of the 2015 season, Roberts returned a kick 99 yards for a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers.[17] On December 21, 2015, he was placed on injured reserve with an knee injury, ending his season.[18]

Roberts was released by the Redskins on May 17, 2016.[19]

Detroit Lions

On June 13, 2016, Roberts signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions.[20]

On October 2, 2016, Roberts returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown against the Chicago Bears. During a week 11 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Roberts had another punt return touchdown, this time for 55 yards. Roberts also had several critical catches during the regular season, and finished the year with 14 receptions for 188 yards and a touchdown.

Atlanta Falcons

On March 14, 2017, Roberts signed a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons.[21]

On September 10, 2017, in his Falcons debut, Roberts was the kickoff and punt returner in the 23–17 victory over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.[22] He served as the Falcons' primary kick and punt returner in 2017, while only recording one catch for 12 yards on offense.

New York Jets

On March 23, 2018, Roberts signed with the New York Jets.[23] On September 10, in the season opener against the Detroit Lions, Roberts scored his first punt return touchdown, which went for 78 yards, as a Jet.[24] In a week 15 game against the Houston Texans he had a touchdown reception and added 93 yards in kick returns;[25] he was named to the 2018 AFC Pro Bowl squad as a return specialist.[26] In Week 16, against the Green Bay Packers, he had a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and a career high 215 return yards.[27] Roberts finished with career bests for both punt and kickoff returns with 324 and 1,174 yards, respectively, in addition to adding 10 catches for 79 yards and a score on offense.
