It seems like a great day for the couple, Kelsey Plum and Darren Waller. After his wife, Plum, won back-to-back NBA championships, it is now time for the tight end to shine, too. Darren Waller just caught a fifteen-yard pass from the quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Now, that is a new record after a long time.

Waller’s last score was a few months back in January, and this first record with the New York Giants did not go unnoticed. The skilled Tight End proved himself through this record, as it meant a lot not only to him but also to the Giants.
