Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers totaled 58 yards on six receptions in Week 1.
Brock Bowers had an admirable first NFL game in the Las Vegas Raiders' 22-10 Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
For his efforts, Bowers has been named one of six nominees for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award for Week 1. "I thought we saw just a glimpse of what it is and what he can be," said Raiders coach Antonio Pierce when speaking on Bowers on Monday. "What I really was excited about was him in the run game. I thought he had some really good examples of some blocks out there on their defensive ends, 52 and 97. But again, like any rookie, it's his first game. I think he felt like he left some yards out there as well.
Many expect Bowers to eventually become one of the best tight ends in the league, and it could happen very soon. He's already showing the signs, and on a team that includes Adams and Jakobi Meyers, it would say a ton if the Raiders continue to heavily rely on him.
