WATCH: Former LSU WR D.J. Chark makes incredible rainbow catch for TD

D.J. Chark got an upgrade at quarterback in Jacksonville with the arrival of Nick Foles from Philadelphia.

The former LSU wide receiver took full advantage early with a 35-yard catch in the back corner of the end zone on a lollipop throw from Foles. Foles was injured on that pass, but Chark had two catches for 42 yards by that point in the opening game.

This is a banner start for Chark as that was his first NFL touchdown catch. He previously has 14 catches last season for 174 yards with a long of 38 yards.

Chark was the No. 61 overall selection in the 2018 NFL Draft and largely played on special teams as a rookie. He worked his way into the receiving rotation, but missed 5 of the last 6 games with a quadriceps injury.
