“Despite the top six quarterbacks being selected, the Raiders opt for a ‘best player available’ strategy, choosing tight end Michael Mayer in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft,” stated Sikkema. “Bowers, a versatile offensive threat, is expected to make an immediate impact due to his skills with the ball. His impressive 689 receiving yards after contact during his college career at Georgia surpass any other tight end since PFF began tracking college football in 2014.”
Sikkema emphasized Bowers’ talent, stating, “Bowers is one of the most versatile tight end prospects ever seen in the NFL. He earned the SEC’s Freshman of the Year title in 2021 and was recognized as an All-American and recipient of the John Mackey Award in his sophomore and junior seasons.”
