From the episode

Darren Waller for the Panthers? Cause it's Tedderro and McMillan. And now Jalen Coker's hurt... If you ranked every tight, tight end by how much does their quarterback look to them when they're scrambling? I swear to God that like Darren Waller's third behind Kelsey and Brock Bowers, like Bryce Young's looking for Waller every time.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Waller's scramble-drill usage and number-two receiver role offer tight end upside.

Waller is positioned as the number two receiver in the Panthers offense with Teddy Bridgewater and DJ Moore ahead, and Jalen Coker (quad strain, questionable) potentially out. The source notes that Bryce Young looks to Waller frequently when scrambling, ranking him third behind Travis Kelce and Brock Bowers in that regard. Waller is a viable tight end option despite limited snap share.
