The BBN already knows how special Lynn Bowden is, and Kentucky fans understand the sacrifices he made throughout his junior year to not only salvage the Wildcats’ season, but to turn it into something special. In Bowden’s eyes, it wasn’t a sacrifice at all. In fact, “it’s the best thing to ever happen to me,” he says.
That’s according to a new feature on Kentucky’s wide receiver-turned-quarterback, written by Alex Scarborough for ESPN. The story, title “How Lynn Bowden became one of the NFL draft’s most intriguing players,” chronicles UK’s decision to move their star receiver to the QB slot, and Bowden’s thought process along the way.
