Brock Bowers Hauls In Both Targets In Preseason Debut
3 months agoLas Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers linked up with quarterback Aidan O'Connell twice on the first drive of the game for 25 yards; his longest was a 16-yard first down over the middle of the field to bring the Raiders right outside the Minnesota red zone. After selecting tight end Michael Mayer in the second round of the 2023 Draft, the Raiders surprisingly used their 13th overall pick this year on another tight end. Bowers is a 6-foot-3 playmaker from Georgia who caught 175 balls for 2,538 yards and scored 31 total touchdowns in his three seasons as a Bulldog. He's currently ranked as a top-15 tight end but has the skills to be in the top five if the Raiders can get quality play from their quarterback position, and even more so if Davante Adams stays put in the desert to draw the opposing defense's attention.
