From the episode
Brock Bowers set the tight ends catch record by like 20 catches. He had his rookie year. This was just two years ago. 112 catches, 1,100 yards as a fucking rookie tight end. We have Clint Kubiak. We have what we feel like is a very dependable Kirk Cousins, maybe Mendoza eventually, which I think we are a few notches above what the Raiders have been dealing with the past two seasons.
STACKED’s take
Elite TE1 with 112 catches as rookie; mid-2nd round projection with Cousins upgrade
Elite tier-one tight end ranked as a top-25 overall player. Rookie year production of 112 catches and 1,100 yards set the tight end rookie catch record by 20 catches and ranks second all-time for any rookie position (behind only Puka Nacua). Now in Clint Kubiak's Raiders offense with Kirk Cousins at quarterback—a significant upgrade from Gardner Minshew and Aiden O'Connell. Kubiak has called him a 'football robot from heaven' and will make Bowers the focal point of the passing game. Projected to be drafted in the middle of the second round or higher, positioning him as a potential first-round tight end. Demonstrated elite receiving ability by burning first-team All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie in his rookie year.
