The Raiders' rookie minicamp is underway in Alameda, but their veterans are still working, too.
Oakland is in phase two of its offseason program, which allows the defense and offense to conduct non-contact practices separately from one another. That means Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and new receiver Antonio Brown have a chance to build some chemistry.

Hard work pays off!

We're assuming Carr and Brown saved the heart-eyes emoji for their text messages.
This isn't the first time Carr has connected with Brown on a route sans pads this offseason, as the QB said last month that he and the receiver "have worked out a lot together" since the Raiders acquired the All-Pro receiver in a March trade with the Pittsburgh Steeelers.
