Waller replied."I've done that numerous times in my career so that is who I am. That's the effort I'm going to bring into blocking. It may not be just the whole game running power right behind me but there are definitely a lot of creative ways in which I have no problem getting my hands dirty," the new Dolphins TE added.How did Darren Waller perform in his last NFL season?Waller had a strong season in his last full year in the league in 2023.
