“It was great to see [him] building a rapport with him and Lamar,” wide receivers coach Greg Lewis said. “To see ‘Bate get out there, making moves, making catches, the sky’s the limit for him.
“It was awesome to see just plays being made, contested catches, going up grabbing the ball, by all the guys out there.”
For whatever reason, the connection between Jackson and Bateman has been inconsistent at best through the early part of camp in what seemed like a carryover from last year. But they looked terrific on Saturday.
Jackson, who played against the first- and second-team defenses, unofficially finished 10-for-16 for 107 yards with one touchdown, a 4-yard pass to Andrews.
