It was day one of Raiders minicamps. Derek Carr drops back and throws a perfect ball 25 yards downfield over the outstretched arms of a defensive back and into the hands of a long outstretched arms of an athletic, leaping tight end who pulls down the tough catch with ease just inbounds along the right sideline.

That...is Darren Waller. a 6-6, 255-pound converted wide receiver who has hung around the fringes of the NFL the past four years, teasing his coaches with his immense potential.
