Brock Bowers

He was one of the best players in college football as an 18-yr old freshman. He joined a powerhouse and outclassed the top SEC talent every week.

There was a crappy bit of "AI" software that calculated the top recorded speeds of players every week. Obviously, the straight-line dashes are gonna win - Brock got one of these on this play (I can't find that company or record mentioned, as I'm sure it's outdated and/or proprietary now). If I recall correctly, 20.6 MPH - not too shabby!

 
Here's highlights of Brock Bowers' rookie season, in which he set NFL records for a rookie tight end with 112 catches for 1,194 yards to go along with 5 TDs. Looking forward to his second season, with hopefully Jack Bech starting at WR and TE Michael Mayer still on the team.

I pretty much missed this guy during the season as the Raiders are painful for me to watch nowadays. Just goes to show how a great player can get lost when playing for a losing team. As great as George Kittle is, I'm thinking Bowers is already better. Great hands too.
 
Brock Bowers got his 200th career reception today! Becoming the fastest TE to 200 receptions in just 32 career games. He's had some injuries and he's just 24 years old.
To put it in perspective, Travis Kelce was 27 years old before he got his 200the reception. Hopefully Bowers can stay healthy and have a long career!
