What does "roll deep" mean?

Do we think the "deep" has something to do with keeping a "deep bench" from a sports metaphor? i.e. if someone goes out on the disabled list, you've got a deep bench, i.e. lots of teammates you can turn to for support?

I'm 34 from New England and have heard this phrase since high school.
