Former Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers in making an instant impact with the Las Vegas Raiders in the NFL. In fact, Bowers is having one of the best rookie seasons for a tight end in NFL history.
Bowers made history again in the Raiders’ 34-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Bowers hauled in an NFL rookie tight end record 13 receptions for 126 yards and one touchdown. No rookie tight end has ever caught more passes in a single game. Bowers and Jeremy Shockey are the only rookie tight ends to ever have two games with over 10 receptions.
Bowers has already recorded a staggering 70 receptions for 706 yards and three touchdowns. The rookie from Georgia has put up impressive numbers despite the Raiders’ unstable quarterback situation.
Bowers is second in the NFL in receptions with 70, but he has played in one less game than the NFL’s receptions leader (Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase with 73 receptions). Bowers is also ninth in the NFL in receiving yards.
Bowers’ next game is against the Denver Broncos on Nov. 24.
