The Las Vegas Raiders could have the most dynamic tight end duo in football this season, and here, we take a look at the position group as a whole heading into camp.

Going into the 2021 NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders do have question marks on both sides of the ball. They are revamping their offensive line, brought in new players on all three levels of the defense, and still have to figure out who is going to step up and assume the WR1 role now that Nelson Agholor has moved on to New England.

When it comes to the passing game, the Raiders struggled at the wide receiver group as a whole this past season, but they got elite play from the tight end spot. While Jason Witten was a non-factor, star Darren Waller continues to be one of the best in the game, and he shattered the team’s single-season reception record this past season.

As he enters his third full season as the starting tight end in Las Vegas, Waller is as good as anybody else in the game, and he also has some talent behind him. Hopefully, the Raiders can get more help from the wide receiver group in 2021, but if they struggle once again, at least Derek Carr has the ultimate safety blanket in Waller.

With that said, here is a look at the tight end position as a whole heading into the 2021 NFL season.
