Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster prediction entering 2022 training camp

Tight End (3): Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister

Ever since being plucked by the Raiders off the Baltimore Ravens practice squad a few years back, Darren Waller has established himself as one of the premier tight ends in the NFL. Already with a 100-catch season on his resume, Waller battled through injuries last season, and not having him really hurt this offense.

In 2022, Waller will return, which will enable Foster Moreau to go back to being the No. 2 tight end on this roster, and one of the better backup tight ends in the league. Filling in for Waller last season, Moreau did not have the kind of breakout performance many were expecting, so hopefully, he can bounce back this year.

New head coach Josh McDaniels loves to work with multiple tight ends, and Jacob Hollister is a player who has familiarity with him after their time in New England together. Overall, this would be a solid three-man group to open up the 2022 season, but I would not be surprised if they brought in more tight ends to battle it out in camp.
