It’s already been an unbelievable season for Brock Bowers as the rookie tight end has unbelievably set himself up to possibly be the Offensive Rookie of the Year if his dominance continues. Heading into Week 14, Bowers has a chance to do something incredible in breaking the rookie tight end reception record with four more weeks to go.

The record was broken last year by a breakout performance from Lions tight end Sam LaPorta, with 86 receptions as a rookie. Bowers, however, is already sitting at 84 with a handful of games still left to go, and given the fact he is seeing over 10 targets a game, Bowers should break that record this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

While the rookie tight end reception record would be a feat within itself, it wouldn’t be outlandish to think that Bowers could also collect the most receptions by a rookie in a season period. This record was also set a year ago by late-round superstar Puka Nacua when he caught 105 balls on the season. If Bowers averages just over 5 catches in the next 4 games, he would also surpass that incredible record. Just really a dominant performance all around by one of the best tight ends in the league already.
