Drue Tranquill: Raiders’ Brock Bowers ‘One of the Best Tight Ends in the League’

By The Associated Press

Los Angeles, Calif. — Drue Tranquill is a big fan of Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, and he’s not afraid to show it.

The Los Angeles Chargers safety recently praised Bowers on Twitter, calling him “one of the best tight ends in the league.”

Tranquill’s comments come as no surprise to those who have watched Bowers play. The 23-year-old has quickly become one of the most dangerous pass-catching threats in the NFL, and he is coming off a breakout season in which he caught 66 passes for 882 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Bowers’ Unique Skill Set

Bowers is a unique talent who possesses a rare combination of size, speed, and athleticism. At 6’4″ and 250 pounds, he is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. He is also a gifted receiver who runs crisp routes and has excellent hands.

“He’s got everything you want in a tight end,” Tranquill said. “He’s big, he’s fast, he’s athletic, and he can catch the ball. He’s a complete player.”

A Star on the Rise

Bowers was selected by the Raiders in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he has quickly become one of the team’s most important players. He is a key target for quarterback Derek Carr, and he is also a valuable blocker in the running game.

Bowers is still just 23 years old, and he has the potential to be one of the best tight ends in the NFL for many years to come.

Tranquill’s Prediction

Tranquill believes that Bowers is on the verge of becoming a superstar.

“I think he’s going to be one of the best players in the league,” Tranquill said. “He’s got all the tools to be great.”
