The Las Vegas Raiders knew they hit the jackpot when Georgia tight end Brock Bowers fell into their lap with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. While the team could have used a young quarterback, it is now Geno Smith who will reap the benefits of Bowers' selection.
Bowers had a historic rookie campaign, making the Pro Bowl and earning First-Team All-Pro honors after a 112-catch, 1,194-yard, five-touchdown campaign last season. He is now the consensus top tight end in the league after just one season, which is an impressive feat.
While Raider Nation is already aware of his prowess on the football field, unknown to the fan base were his talents off the gridiron.
