Lynn Bowden Jr.'s versatility brings new dimension to Raiders offense

The Raiders kicked off day two of the 2020 NFL draft, selecting Lynn Bowden Jr. — the ultimate do-it-all offensive playmaker.

To kick off the 2019 college season, Bowden entered his Junior year as Kentucky's No.1 wide receiver, shortly after breaking out in his sophomore campaign the year prior. Things changed quickly and Bowden finished the season as the team's primary quarterback over eight starts, totaling 403 passing yards, 1,468 rushing yards and 348 receiving yards.

Bowden ran the wildcat offense, caught passes, returned kicks and returned punts. The opposing team knew he was going to have the ball in his hands but defense's still struggled to slow him down.
