The Las Vegas Raiders have had a rough go in 2024 and are 2-8 through Week 11. Despite being unable to win games, the team has had some bright spots to look forward to in the future, particularly rookie tight end Brock Bowers.
Quarterback Garnder Minshew was asked about his thoughts on Bowers and if he will win the Rookie of the Year award this season. The veteran said, "He's really good... I don't know if anyone's said that yet."
Minshew continues on giving high praise to his rookie tight end and what he is capable of doing. Bowers is coming off of his best game of the season against the Miami Dolphins, amounting to 126 receiving yards and a touchdown on thirteen catches.
Despite having one of the best rookie seasons for a tight end, Bowers has often been overlooked this year because of the Raiders' struggles. The award also usually goes to a quarterback, so Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders and Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos have been the top two in the discussion.
Even if Bowers does not win the award, he has still broken numerous records on the Raiders, like having the most receptions for a tight end through his first ten games in franchise history.
