Waller said he's excited to switch from wide receiver to tight end, the Ravens' official website reports.
Waller was selected in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft after running a 4.46 40-yard dash at 6-foot-6, 238 pounds at the scouting combine. His rare size-speed combination may hint at long-term upside, but he probably doesn't have the short-area quickness that's needed to beat defensive backs in the NFL, which explains why the Ravens are moving him to tight end. Even if he bulks up appropriately, expectations should remain quite modest, as Waller caught just 51 passes in college and two as a rookie (six games). Furthermore, the Ravens already possess good depth at tight end, having signed Ben Watson to join Crockett Gillmore (shoulder), Maxx Williams, and possibly Dennis Pitta (hip).
