Bowers is the only rookie on this year’s team. There wasn’t a rookie on last year’s team at all.
Bowers led all tight ends this season in catches (112) and yards (1194). He set a record for rookie catches, and a rookie tight end record for receiving yards.
PFWA put out both their All-NFL and All-AFC teams. Bowers was, of course, on both teams. There were no other Raiders who made either team.
