Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Darren Waller is hard to miss at 6-foot-6 and 238 pounds. Waller's size makes him a great pass-catching target for any quarterback, and that's exactly why the Baltimore Ravens drafted him.

"We all covet big receivers," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said, according to Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "To get a big receiver, another big target for Joe (Flacco), we know how tough it is facing receivers that are that type of size in the red area. He brings all of that."

Waller was Baltimore's sixth-round pick in last weekend's draft. Now, the Tech product is pairing up with the Ravens' first-round pick, UCF's Breshad Perriman, another large wide receiver at 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds.
