Ian Hartitz identifies Brock Bowers as a generational talent, noting he produced one of the best rookie tight end seasons since Mike Ditka in 1960. Despite playing through a sprained PCL last year, Bowers delivered TE2 PPR points per game and showed high-end upside, including a three-touchdown performance against the Jaguars. Hartitz further notes that Bowers is playing under the same play-caller who facilitated Jaxon Smith-Njigba's high-volume production, suggesting similar potential.

0:00We keep trying to wonder, well, what
0:01wide receiver is going to be this year's
0:03JSN? Maybe it's the arguable
0:05generational talent that's actually a
0:08tight end in a passing game with pretty
0:10much no other passing competition led by
0:13the play caller that just freaking
0:15helped JSN put up those big-time numbers
0:17in the first place. So, Bowers,
0:19everything we've seen from this dude in
0:20the first two seasons of his career,
0:21guys, also pretty freaking incredible.
0:24He had one of the best rookie seasons
0:25we've ever seen at the position, quite
0:27literally going all the way back to Mike
0:29Ditka in freaking 1960. And if you just
0:31look at last year, while he was playing
0:33through a sprained PCL, it was still
0:35enough to provide tight end two numbers
0:37in PPR points per game. Isn't that
0:40crazy? All the bad stuff that happened
0:41with the Raiders last year, your play
0:43caller gets fired before December. Geno
0:44Smith leads the NFL in sacks and
0:46interceptions. Bowers literally is like
0:49over 100 yards in week one, he injures
0:50his PCL.
0:52What's he do? He plays through the
0:54injury for a couple weeks, he finally
0:55takes some time off, and then when he
0:56does come back, he hangs three freaking
0:58touchdowns on the Jaguars.
