Brock Bowers had a legendary rookie season for the Las Vegas Raiders after the franchise selected him 13th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. He recorded 1,194 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 112 receptions.
He set the NFL rookie record and Raiders franchise record for receptions, while also setting the NFL rookie record for receiving yards by a tight end. His performance earned him First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in his inaugural professional campaign.
It was somewhat of a shock that Bowers was still on the board when Las Vegas was on the clock, as his collegiate career left no doubt that he would be a star at the NFL level.
