Offensive scheme requiring a big slot or Y-tight end with vertical receiving capabilities, emphasizing route running against linebackers and safeties.
Year 1 as a rotational big slot receiver, eventually developing into a starting 'move' tight end who can dictate mismatches.
Traditional power run game schemes that require tight ends to consistently operate in-line as primary blockers.
Waller's exceptional size and speed combination makes him a potent vertical threat, but his blocking limitations pigeonhole him to specific passing-game roles.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
