Positive signalRole

Waller's red-zone role and option-route versatility make him a key coverage challenge.

Waller is the other receiving weapon who stood out, particularly in the red zone. The Panthers spread the defense out and let him work against a linebacker or safety, and his option routes give Young an answer based on the defender's leverage. They also use him on crossing concepts, where his size gives Young a target even in tight coverage. The Eagles' linebackers and safeties will have difficult coverage assignments if the rush doesn't get home.
