On Sunday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders re-signed defensive lineman Pete Robertson to a one-year contract extension.
Pete Robertson (29-years-old) played 11 games in 2021 with ten tackles, two special teams tackles, and five sacks in his first season in Saskatchewan.
Before joining the Roughriders, Robertson signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent from Texas Tech. In the NFL, Robertson played six games with the Washington Redskins on two stints with four tackles. He also tried out for the Arizona Cardinals.
Robertson opted out of his contract with the Roughriders in 2020 due to the canceled season. He opted back in January 2021.
At Texas Tech, Robertson played 37 games in three seasons (2013-15) with 207 tackles, 19.5 sacks, two interceptions, ten passes defended, seven forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, and one special teams block.
In his junior season, Robertson was named All-Big 12 second team and AP All-Big 12 first team after posting monster numbers with 81 tackles, 12 sacks, three passes defended, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in 12 games.
In Robertson’s senior year, he played 12 games with 66 tackles, five sacks, two passes defended, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one special teams block. He was an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection by the conference coaches and named All-Big 12 first team by the Waco Tribune in 2015.
