Darren Waller switches to tight end

There's no questioning that the Ravens have a trove of talent at tight end. With names such as Pitta, Gillmore, and now Watson, Baltimore has one of the more formidable tight end groups in the league.

Now the team is adding one more talent to their tight end ranks.

Receiver Darren Waller, a second-year man out of Georgia Tech has decided to switch from his native position of wide receiver to tight end. Waller was a sixth round selection last year who generated a lot of hype, mostly because of his gigantic frame. Waller is a towering 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, so he should be a natural fit at a position that demands size.

"We just feel like a 250-pound wide receiver who can run like he can has a chance to maybe grow into a tight end. He’s embraced it, and he’s working on that right now in the offseason."

Waller didn't make much of an impact in his rookie campaign, but that was expected. Waller only managed two catches and 18 receiving yards, and was also a threat on special teams, but his season was cut short by a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve.

Waller will be the seventh tight end on the Ravens' active roster. Competing alongside him will be Maxx Williams, Dennis Pitta, Chase Ford, Konrad Reuland, Harold Spears, and newcomer Benjamin Watson.
