Latest on Walford's Practice Status Friday, Oct. 7 The Raiders announced Walford was limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday.
Walford Building on Productive Season The second-year player is coming off a solid rookie season in which he finished with 28 catches for 329 yards and three touchdowns. However, the former third-round pick out of Miami believes he is capable of more.
In August, Walford compared himself to the long list of successful Hurricanes tight ends.
"I’m a mixture of all of them," Walford said, per Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle. "I have Kellen Winslow’s heart, Greg Olsen’s ability to block and to run routes, Jeremy Shockey’s ability to catch the ball and go over defenders and Jimmy Graham’s speed and ability to block guys out, coming from a basketball background like he did."
Walford has turned that self-described skill set into 13 catches, 125 yards and one touchdown so far in the 2016 season.
Mychal Rivera will likely see a bigger role until Walford is able to return. Rivera, who has been inconsistent throughout his NFL career, has one reception for one yard this year.
