That’s not true though. There are a ton of people saying he is THAT level of talent. For example, he was clocked at 21.9 mph on his 89 yard touchdown by RAanalytics. To my knowledge that is the fastest time they have ever recorded by a TE. He has freakish speed for someone that is 240+ lbs. I also stand corrected on his prior 40 time out of high school, it was 4.48, which according to NFL Draft Buzz for TE’s would place him in the 98th percentile. That combined with a documented 40” vertical is absolutely freakish and rare to find.
He’s not a freak because of his size, he’s a freak because of his rare explosive athleticism while being around the same size as some of the best TE’s in the NFL. Kittle, Laporta, Kincaid, and Mcbride all are very similar from a size perspective and have had a ton of success early on in their careers so far and look to be among the best TE’s in the NFL for the foreseeable future. None of them were as athletic or productive as Bowers coming into the NFL.
