Brock Bowers has been on a generational run in his rookie season for the Las Vegas Raiders. He is first in the NFL in receptions with 52 and is 10th in the league with 532 receiving yards. He is the only tight end inside of the top 10 in both of the categories.
Bowers, a former Georgia Bulldog, is proving worthy of a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
This past Sunday was National Tight Ends Day. The Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) lost to unbeaten division rival Kansas City, 27-20.
This game showcased two elite tight ends from different generations who were the leading receivers for their respective teams. Bowers topped the Raiders in receiving with five receptions with 58 yards. Travis Kelce led the Chiefs with 10 receptions, 90 yards and one touchdown.
At the end of the game, Kelce asked for Bowers’ jersey and made sure a jersey swap was in cards between the two tight ends.
Bowers’ dominance for three years at Georgia was quite impressive. He continues being one of the best at his position in the NFL. The recognition from a great such as Kelce shows that Bowers is on his path to becoming one of the best the league has seen. Kelce has the fourth-most receptions and receiving yards of any tight end in NFL history.
