ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis ran his route, turned toward the corner of the end zone and laid his arms out for the ball, which hit him in stride. The timing on this play during training camp was perfect and not at all surprising.
It reflected a comfort level between Davis and quarterback Alex Smith, owing to their six seasons together in San Francisco. It’s a combination the Redskins hope will lead to more big plays.
"A lot of guys came up to me and said, 'You and Alex seem to have a great connection,'" Davis said.
