148 yards and 2 tds, still moves okay. 3 for 36 last week
33 years old and still has the athleticism. 2 tds, 5 for 8 vs cleveland. panthers are 1-2 but he's been a useful target.
Waller is the high-ceiling matchup addition: a former receiver playing tight end with real red-zone and seam ability. The limited ramp-up is the caveat, but his presence gives Young a different kind of target than the younger tight ends.
Strengths: Pro Bowl résumé, six 2025 touchdowns, receiving matchup ability, veteran experience, and red-zone upside.
Weaknesses: Only two Panthers practices and no preseason action leave timing and immediate conditioning unanswered.
