Brock Bowers impressed in his NFL debut, recording 56 yards on six receptions in the Las Vegas Raiders' 22-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He was a top performer for the Raiders, finishing just one yard shy of star receiver Davante Adams.
His performance has earned him a nomination for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award, competing against notable rookies from other teams. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce praised Bowers for both his receiving skills and run-blocking ability.
Bowers, selected as the 13th overall pick, is anticipated to become one of the league's top tight ends.
