HBO’s Hard Knocks has awoken a sleeper the Raiders had been trying to keep under wraps; their new weapon at tight end. A former sixth round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens, the Raiders signed tight end Darren Waller from the Ravens practice squad late last season. In very brief action with the team, Waller tallied six receptions for 75 yards, but he could be in store for a lot more action than that in 2019.
For those fans who have avidly watched Hard Knocks, the series has done a good job of highlighting Waller’s story.
