Remembering the duo: Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman
When NaVorro Bowman announced his retirement on Tuesday, it made sense. He was out of football for over a year already. I recently was asked on a radio appearance this morning if Bowman had the stats and pedigree to go into the hall of fame. Sorry, but no.
It got me thinking though, if the Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted units or stables, one of the few I’d induct is the duo of Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman. Both have a body of work we are all familiar with. On his own, Willis was a game changer on the field. When he was paired with Takeo Spikes, it made a solid duo. In his rookie season, Bowman would come in, Spikes was the man with Willis.
