There's so many things to like about Bateman, the receiver. He's good in contested catchers,

0:04.9

really good at the top of the route, breaks out of the route in lots of different directions,

0:08.4

really is more of a deceptive route runner than the Ravens have had. He likes to come over the middle

1:24.7

You know, Ken's a friend of the lounge. So we had to invite them on here to break down
