Darren Waller’s Comeback & Legacy | Carolina Panthers News

The Panthers just pulled off a major move by signing Pro Bowl tight end Darren Waller, a sixth-round pick turned elite receiver who’s been voted to the NFL Top 100 three times. After bouncing around from Ravens to Raiders to Dolphins, he’s reuniting with former coordinator Darrell Bevell. Once a wideout at Georgia Tech who roomed with Steve Smith Sr., Waller switched to TE in his second season and exploded in 2019 with 90 catches for 1,100+ yards and 3 TDs. Off the field, he’s making waves with his foundation tackling youth addiction, born from his own battle with substance abuse. He even retired in June after an injury but came back strong with the Dolphins, scoring 6 TDs in 9 games last year. And yes — music runs in his blood: his great-grandfather was jazz legend Fats Waller, and Darren himself drops tunes under the name D Wall.
