Selected in the first round of April’s draft, Bateman was picked to provide another weapon for quarterback Lamar Jackson, as they continue to bolster their passing game.

The Big Ten Receiver of the Year in 2019, Bateman caught 147 passes for 2,395 yards and 19 touchdowns over his three seasons with the Golden Gophers.
