Former UNT Linebacker Proving He Belongs In NFL

Cleveland Browns linebacker Craig Robertson picks off a Joe Flacco pass during the first half of their game in Baltimore on Thursday.

Craig Robertson almost never left the field when he played football for Stafford High School in suburban Houston.

He was a quarterback, running back and go-to wide receiver on third down. He also played defensive back and even served as a punter and place-kicker, too.

So which duty was his favorite?

“I liked having the ball in my hands really,” Robertson said.

Now Robertson is a linebacker for the Browns, and his preference hasn’t changed. His knack for being around the ball has helped him make two interceptions through four games and earn a prominent role as one of two linebackers used in the team’s nickel package. He has played 188-of-317 defensive snaps (59 percent) this season.

It’s quite a feat for someone who went undrafted out of the University of North Texas last year and didn’t even receive an invitation to an NFL training camp. The Browns signed Robertson to their practice squad on Dec. 19, 2011, and he has since become one of the team’s most remarkable success stories.
