Texans face big threat against Raiders' Darren Waller

Vulnerable to athletic tight ends and dynamic passing games, the Texans' secondary faces another difficult test Sunday.

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller is one of the most versatile and athletic players at his position in the NFL. He's a matchup nightmare.

At 6-6, 255 pounds, Waller is capable of stretching the defense or jumping over smaller defenders. A converted wide receiver from Georgia Tech, Waller is a former Baltimore Ravens draft pick who has overcome substance-abuse issues and was recently signed to a three-year, $27 million contract.

Waller runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds.
