ALAMEDA –- The University of Miami has a strong history of successful tight ends, especially in the recent past.

There’s Bubba Franks, Jeremy Shockey, Jimmy Graham, Greg Olsen and Kellen Winslow Jr., to name a few.

Clive Walford hopes that, in time, you can add his name to this list.

“We have a great line of them,” Walford said. “That’s what we do at Miami. We build tight ends.”

The Raiders certainly hope so. They selected him No.
