| Comments:
|
| Bowman was a tremendously productive college player that didn't have fewer than 4 receptions in any game as a senior. He has the size and leaping ability to be an effective possession receiver and a serious threat in the red zone. Despite some obvious physical tools, his injuries, off-field issues and lack of speed will cause him to fall down the draft boards. Teams have to be concerned by the fact that he's needed two eye surgeries in less than a year. Despite having 2nd or 3rd round talent, he likely falls deep into the draft. However, if given some time and placed in the right situation he could develop into a very reliable receiver in the Joe Jurevicius mold. |
