Waldron helped lead a passing attack that ranked sixth in the NFL in scoring (franchise-record 27.9 ppg) and tied seventh in completions of 20-plus yards (57). QB Trevor Lawrence had a career year and was named an MVP and Comeback Player of the Year finalist as he had a franchise-record 38 total touchdowns, threw for over 4,000 yards and finished fifth in the NFL in passing touchdowns (29). Jacksonville was one of four teams to have three players with 700-plus receiving yards in 2025 as WR Parker Washington, WR Brian Thomas Jr. and WR Jakobi Meyers all reached the feat.

During the 2024 season, Chicago's offense scored at least five offensive touchdowns in back-to-back weeks (Week 5 & 6) for the first time since 1956. QB Caleb Williams set franchise rookie records in completions (351), passing yards (3,541) and passing touchdowns (20). His 87.8 passer rating was also a franchise best for a rookie.

In three seasons in Seattle, Waldron's offense ranked third in yards per play (7.8), third in receptions of 25-plus yards (110), fourth in rushes of 10-plus yards percentage (13.0), fifth in completion percentage (66.6), eighth in yards per reception (11.2) and tied for 10th in passing touchdowns (83).

Under Waldron in 2022, QB Geno Smith ranked first in the NFL in completion percentage (69.8), fourth in touchdown passes (30), fifth in passer rating (100.9) and eighth in passing yards (4,282). He received his first Pro Bowl nod, as well as AP Comeback Player of the Year honors. Additionally, WR Tyler Lockett (1,033) and WR D.K. Metcalf (1,048) logged 1,000-yard seasons, making the Seahawks one of five teams in the NFL that season with two players with over 1,000 receiving yards.

In 2021, Waldron helped to develop RB Rashaad Penny as the Seattle rushing attack finished third in the NFL with 5.02 rushing yards per attempt. Lockett set a single-season career-high in receiving yards (1,175), while Metcalf set career-highs in receptions (75) and receiving touchdowns (12). QB Russell Wilson also became the second quarterback in NFL history to record at least 3,000 passing yards and 20 touchdowns in each of his first 10 seasons.

Prior to the Seahawks, Waldron spent four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (2017-20). He began with the Rams as tight ends coach in 2017. He added passing game coordinator responsibilities in 2018. He assumed the full role of passing game coordinator for the 2019 and 2020 seasons, overseeing the development of QB Jared Goff. While at the Rams, the team ranked in the top 10 in both passing yards and rushing yards three times. In 2019, he helped Goff become the first quarterback in franchise history to post consecutive 4,000-passing yard seasons.

In 2016, Waldron served as offensive quality control for Washington, when the team set the franchise record for total net yards in a season (6,454) and ranked third in the league in total offense.
