Brock Bowers was hyped up as perhaps the best tight end prospect in many years, perhaps ever, ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. Hyperbole and top-5 overall rankings for the Georgia tight end were everywhere.

As the Raiders try to settle into a new offense under Scott Turner and his dad Norv, rookie TE Brock Bowers is a single constant.

At 70 receptions for 706 yards and three touchdowns, Bowers is projected by ESPN to finish his rookie season with 119 catches for 1,200 yards and five touchdowns. The loss against Miami represents the fifth time Las Vegas has allowed 30 or more points this season.
