Tight ends aren’t usually thought of as can’t-miss, top-five-lock NFL draft picks, but most tight ends aren’t Brock Bowers. The Georgia Bulldog took college football by storm as a true freshman last season, and picked up where he left off this season.
But, his signature performance so far in his career was in Monday night’s national title game. The Napa Valley product was unstoppable for Stetson Bennett and the Dawgs and he tallied 152 yards on 7 catches plus 15 yards on two carries as Georgia romped to a 65-7 win over TCU.
Let’s take a look at some of his highlights.

Oh yeah, he just turned 20 years old last month. He already has over 1500 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns in his college career through the air, and another 4 on the ground.
And, NFL fans and twitter scouts and really anyone who has working eyes are salivating over the possibility of Bowers playing for their favorite NFL team. He’s ready to play in the league at a high level right now.
Is it time to lower the draft requirement by a year if the NFL gives a player, a first round grade? It seems so crazy Marvin Harrison Jr. and Brock Bowers HAVE to go back for another year…

Brock Bowers is so damn good, man. Such an explosive athlete we've rarely ever seen at tight end.
I believe Cole Kmet is a good NFL starting TE, and I still wouldn't be mad if the #Bears somehow drafted Bowers in Round 1 in 2024. Need doesn't matter with a guy that talented.

The NFL has gotta give Brock Bowers a waiver or something, boy needs to be in the NFL ASAP.

Every NFL fan is watching this game saying “I WANT A BROCK BOWERS AND I WANT ONE NOW” like Veruca Salt and the Oompa Loompas.

Some NFL team is going to get a future Hall of Fame tight end in about 16 months.
