What happened: The scoring play came during Saturday's NFL preseason matchup. Connors finished the 9-yard connection in the end zone.
Why it matters: Simpson, the 13th overall pick in April, delivered an efficient early benchmark as he adjusts to the NFL. Connors' involvement as a receiver adds another dimension to his preseason evaluation.
By the numbers: Simpson completed 21 of 25 passes, an 84% rate, for 190 yards and two touchdowns.
What to watch: Simpson's remaining preseason snaps will test whether that efficiency holds over a larger sample.
