NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After helping Georgia win its second consecutive national championship, Brock Bowers was named first-team All-SEC, first-team All-American and the John Mackey Award winner as the nation’s top tight end last season.
He stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 230 pounds, with the kind of soft hands and fast legs that don’t normally pair with such a frame. He enters his junior season at Georgia as one of the best players in the country. Had NFL Draft rules allowed it, he’d already be a pro. Instead he’ll wait until spring to get drafted.
If there was ever a college football player who deserved to cash in on any and every penny afforded to him under new name, image and likeness rules, it’s Bowers.
