Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson dropped back a couple of steps and lofted a pass 15 yards down the middle and into the end zone. With Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack in tight coverage, Ravens tight end Mark Andrews soared above Jack and, fully extended, hauled in the catch before falling to the ground, rolling over and throwing his hands upward in a touchdown gesture.
That catch by Andrews during an August joint practice was one of the highlights of Ravens training camp and was also fitting in many ways. The play illustrated the strides Jackson has made as a passer during the past year and also showed why Andrews is a trendy national pick to be a breakout star this season.
Andrews, the second-year tight end from Oklahoma, was the Ravens' most consistent offensive player throughout training camp, building on what was an impressive rookie season in 2018. He finished last season with 34 catches for 552 yards -- a Ravens rookie-tight-end record and the most by any rookie tight end in the league last year -- and three touchdowns.
