The connection between Drew Lock and Jerry Jeudy is starting to look really good.

On Thursday of last week, the second-year quarterback found the talented rookie at wide receiver on a fade route for a touchdown in training camp.

Jeudy, who was taken at No. 15 overall by the Denver Broncos in April, beat a veteran cornerback in Bryce Callahan — who is going into his sixth NFL season.

Former Alabama cornerback and current Bronco, Kareem Jackson has already mentioned Jeudy’s rare ability to put route concepts together.

He was a stud through three years (2017-19) with the Crimson Tide, including a pair of 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019.

A native of Deerfield Beach, Fla., the former five-star prospect was on a College Football Playoff National Championship team in 2017 and a Southeastern Conference title roster in 2018.

He joined Amari Cooper (2014) as the second receiver in school history to win the Fred Biletnikoff Award.
