NegativeRoleApr 1, 2026Matt Waldman

Former tight end converted to running back at Ohio State. A one-speed power runner who lacks notable acceleration, but if given a crease to hit, he will create. Can make catches in underneath zones as a receiver and will find solutions when what's supposed to be blocked for him isn't there, but you shouldn't expect big gains from him.
