Brock Bowers vs. Kyle Pitts: A Comparison

While Pitts was celebrated for his athleticism and physicality ahead of his 2021 NFL Draft, Bowers brings a well-rounded skill set to the table. In college, Bowers showcased his versatility and reliability, amassing impressive stats that rival, and even surpass, those of Pitts.

• Freshman Year: Bowers burst onto the scene with 880 yards, setting the tone for his college career.
• Sophomore Year: He followed up with a stellar 1,000-yard season, proving his consistency and growth.
• Draft Year: Despite playing only 10 games, Bowers racked up over 700 yards, solidifying his status as a top prospect.

The Quarterback Question and Competition

Bowers’ rookie season does come with uncertainties, particularly around the quarterback situation. It’s unclear who will be under center in Week 1, and he’ll face competition for snaps from 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer. However, these challenges are not insurmountable. Kyle Pitts also faced an uphill battle in his rookie year with an aging Matt Ryan, yet he still managed to rack up 1,000 yards.
