STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Brock Bowers is a versatile, high-volume weapon for the Raiders

Brock Bowers was sensational, showing rare versatility by playing 13 snaps out wide, 14 in the slot, four inline, and one in the backfield. He is being targeted one-on-one as an X receiver and is effectively being schemed into the offense as a primary weapon.
