The Las Vegas Raiders’ 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Brock Bowers, is making waves in his rookie season.
Through his first three NFL games, Bowers has amassed 18 receptions for 197 yards, averaging an impressive 10.9 yards per catch.
While he’s yet to score his first touchdown, Bowers has quickly established himself as a reliable target in the Raiders’ passing game.
His longest reception of 27 yards hints at his potential for big plays downfield.
Former Raiders tight end Teyo Johnson has taken notice of Bowers’ early success.
In a recent interview with Vegas Sports Today, Johnson praised the rookie’s potential, stating, “I say, Brock Bowers, sky is the limit for him. Hopefully he can continue to wreak havoc in the running game, excited to see what he does as a rookie. Possible Rookie of the Year candidate.”
“The sky is the limit for Brock Bowers.”
