Organized team activities have given second-year tight end Rico Gathers more opportunities to work with Dak Prescott. Even though they were in the same rookie class, Prescott was practicing with the starters last season while Gathers was working with the scout team.
Injuries to Geoff Swaim and James Hanna have opened the door for Gathers to get more first-team reps, which allows him to build his rapport with Prescott.
"He's getting better," Prescott said. "That's just what we're trying to do each and every day with him, get him better, make sure he's learning that playbook. What I like about him is just look at him, how big he is, the wide range he has of being able to throw him the ball, the catch radius is what I'm saying.
