Greg Olsen on Giants’ TE Darren Waller: ‘Absolute specimen’
The New York Giants had a clear plan when they obtained tight end Darren Waller from the Las Vegas Raiders: they aimed to yield WR1 numbers at a modest cost.
While in the midst of a rebuild and actively shaping a sturdy foundation through the NFL Draft, the Giants were cautious about trading for a top receiver without a well-devised strategy.
After two successful years of drafting, the team is coming together and appears capable of both winning games and continuing to enhance their roster.
The trade for 30-year-old Waller, in exchange for a third-round pick originally acquired from Kadarius Toney, may be remembered as one of their finest recent acquisitions.
