I turned on the Georgia game early in the second quarter and twice heard the play by play announcer say that Bowers "goes a hundred miles an hour." Not that he's a great athlete and maybe a peerless one in the entire country this year, just that he goes a hundred miles an hour. Apparently that's an upgrade on the traditional "non-stop motor," carries a lunchpail, overachiever, etc.
There's always a black player each year who is hyped as an unprecedented athlete for his position. Usually it's a running back or quarterback or a defensive player, but in 2021 it was TE Kyle Pitts, who had a very good rookie season but last year and so far this year has looked like a bust. I'll be watching to see if Brock Bowers gets similar treatment to what Pitts received for the '24 or '25 draft. Well, not really as I've been following this for so long I can already write the articles that will appear.
