Brock Bowers: Record-setting rookie year pretty shocking, pretty cool

The 2024 season hasnt been a terribly pleasant one for the Raiders, but they can take some solace in the fact that they nailed their first-round pick in April.

Tight end Brock Bowers broke Rams wideout Puka Nacuas year-old record for rookie receptions on Sunday and he also broke a much longer-standing mark by passing Mike Ditkas 1961 record for receiving yards for a rookie tight end.

If that wasnt enough, Bowers also set the Raiders single-season reception record.

Its pretty awesome , Bowers said, via the teams website.

Its always been a childhood goal to play in the NFL, obviously.

Then to come in here and be able to catch as many balls as I did and get as many yards as I did, its pretty shocking to me.

Its pretty cool.

Sundays win was the second in a row for the 4-12 Raiders and Bowers said he felt like weve been due for better results.

Using Bowers as a building block for more of them in the future should be a focus of the offseason in Las Vegas..
