The coverage of Lynn Bowden feels similar to what Tyreek Hill endured last year.
Earlier this week, news broke that Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Lynn Bowden, Jr. had been arrested. Immediately Twitter broke out with speculation and judgement calls about Bowden’s character, predictions of what happened, how the situation might play out, and quips about the Raiders as an organization.
