Raiders TE Clive Walford will be depended on more moving forward

Oakland Raiders tight end Clive Walford is off to a very slow start to his rookie season. However, head coach Jack Del Rio is impressed by the Miami Hurricanes all-time leading receiver at tight end. Del Rio expects him to see a lot more work moving forward. "I think he's a guy that will begin to emerge more and more," Del Rio said. "A good-size guy that is a very capable blocker, who is also a guy who has the athleticism to be a threat as a route runner. So when you combine those things, you feel like he's got a lot of upside in terms of being a complete tight end, a guy who can do a little bit of both.
