Walford suffered a knee injury while riding an ATV, and while the accident wasn’t serious, it was enough to keep the 2015 third-round draft pick out of all of Oakland’s OTAs and minicamps.
On the other hand, Walford healed up enough to spend time with quarterback Derek Carr for private workouts, making up for the lost time and giving Walford a head start going into training camp.
Walford showed how critical that was to his development when he made a one-handed catch on a deep throw from Carr during individual drills Wednesday.
“You’ll see him every day we come out to warm up, as soon as he comes out he comes straight to me and wants to catch from me,” Carr said. “That’s the kind of things that we need and that’s how he is.”
