No Raider has more upside than their second-year tight end, and with a vertical leap of 35 inches, that’s a lot of up for a fellow his size. At 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds, Walford isn’t hard to spot on the field, and this year he’ll be even easier to find since he’ll be on it more. Walford didn’t play football until high school and was unheralded when he entered Miami. By the time he left, he was mentioned in the same breath as some of the Hurricanes’ greats at the position: Kellen Winslow II, Jeremy Shockey, Greg Olsen and Jimmy Graham.
