Stetson Bennett and Puka Nacua are two rookies that Rams fans are excited about and in practice on Saturday, they showed why.
During the first open practice of training camp, Bennett and Nacua connected on a long touchdown pass down the right side. Bennett threw a perfect deep ball to his fellow rookie, dropping it just over the defender, Vincent Gray, for six points.
It was a pretty tight window and Nacua held on despite Gray trying to rip the ball out of his arms, showing again why he’s such a promising rookie.
Take a look at the rookie connection below.
OK ROOKS! 👀

Stetson Bennett connects with Puka Nacua for what’s roughly a 30-yard touchdown. Ball dropped right into Puka’s hands for the over-the-shoulder catch. Great pass, great hands.
