Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers
Greg Olsen Sends Strong Message on Raiders' TE Brock Bowers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders were fortunate enough to have Georgia tight end Brock Bowers fall into their lap with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. His rookie season was one to remember, as he caught 112 passes for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. Advertisement Bowers earned Pro Bowl honors in his first professional campaign, and he was also named a First-Team All-Pro. He broke several Raiders records during his rookie year, as well as NFL tight end or rookie records. His impressive season has also earned him a rightful spot among the best tight ends in the league. Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (89).Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Legendary NFL tight end Greg Olsen, who went to three Pro Bowls and earned two All-Pro honors in his career, spoke recently on an episode of Pardon My Take about what makes Bowers such a special player. "That is just unique, to be that tall, that long, super linear, in (the SEC), and you look like the fastest guy on the field," Olsen said. "If he was able to come out of the draft after his second year, ... He would have been a top 10 pick." Advertisement Olsen also has a great understanding of both head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith because he played alongside them for the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He spoke about what Raider Nation should expect for this season and beyond from Bowers and the new regime. "He's uniquely talented," Olsen said. "I'll be interested to see how that plays out now with the new regime and Pete Carroll. Geno loves his tight ends, but they are going to run the ball. ... As far as just a talent, I think he's the best tight end prospect to come out of the draft in the last 10-15 years. His rookie year matched it, if not exceeded it, which was pretty incredible." Bowers and the Raiders will open up the 2025 NFL season on the road against the New England Patriots on Sunday, September 7.

Why Brock Bowers is absent from Raiders' workouts
Former Georgia Bulldog Brock Bowers has been absent from voluntary workouts for the Las Vegas Raiders. Many Bulldogs and Raiders fans were curious as to why, but it is for a solid reason. Bowers is finishing his college degree at the University of Georgia, according to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Bowers became a legendary tight end for the Georgia Bulldogs, racking up 2,538 yards and 26 touchdowns in three seasons. Bowers was the No. 1 receiving target in the Bulldogs' back-to-back national championship wins. Advertisement Bowers decided to forgo his senior season to the 2024 NFL draft. The Raiders selected him with the 13th pick in the first-round of the draft. He rewarded them with the greatest season from a rookie tight end in history. However, he still continued his coursework during his rookie season and will complete his degree this month. Bowers was a finance major at Georgia, according to his university bio. He will more than likely be going to Georgia's spring undergraduate ceremony on May 9. Safe to say, he will be out of Raiders practice for a little bit, but for a really good reason.

While having an All Pro rookie season Raiders TE Brock Bowers still got his degree on time
It's safe to say Brock Bowers won't have to worry about anything but being a football player as a career. But that didn't stop the All Pro tight end from finishing what he started and getting his degree. Bowers left the Universoty of Georgia after his junior season as the bet tight end in the country twice over. He was a consecutive All American and Mackey Award winner and was more than ready to turn pro. For many college athletes that means their attention shifts to their pro career. Advertisement Not Bowers. Not only did he choose to finish his college education and get his degree in finance, he did it on time. Getting his degree four years after he started. That's remarkable for anyone, really, let alone someone who turned pro, which would mean much of his time would now to take with preparing for games each week. It becomes downright astonishing when you consider what Bowers was able to accomplish on the football field while still apparently spending a good deal of his spare time on his studies. Bowers broke a rookie tight end receiving yards record that stood for six decades, while setting a rookie receptions record (112) and the Raiders franchise receptions record. Advertisement Don't know how he does it, but it's quite impressive. This article originally appeared on Raiders Wire: Raiders All Pro TE Brock Bowers gets his college degree from Georgia

2025 NFL schedule release buzz: Which team will face the Eagles in the Thursday night opener?
The 2025 NFL offseason is heating up with the much-anticipated schedule release set for Wednesday, May 14 at 8 p.m. ET, live on NFL Network and streaming on NFL+. With the draft now behind, all eyes are on the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, who will launch the season on Thursday, September 4. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While their opponent remains a mystery, the excitement is building. After a seven-month wait since their Super Bowl LIX triumph, fans are eager to see, what the NFL has cooked up for the regular-season opener. Eagles set to open 2025 NFL season—find out which team could challenge them on primetime stage NFL Schedule Release Preview: Eagles set to host 2025 Opener, International Games & MORE Don't bet on it: Giants and Raiders Sure, divisional rivalries make for easy TV marketing, but not every NFC East clash deserves the national spotlight. The New York Giants? They've had their moments, but 'the league wouldn't subject us to the Eagles pummeling the Giants .. . right?' Historically, the NFL has twice kicked off its season with a divisional game involving New York (2008 and 2012), so it's not out of the question. But there's very little competitive intrigue here, especially if the Giants are still stuck in rebuild mode. As for the Raiders, there's a flash of fun with new faces like Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers bringing energy to the offense. Geno Smith's potential debut in Las Vegas would be a storyline worth tracking. But even with all that, the matchup lacks the marquee feel opening night typically demands. The NFL can do better — and probably will. Interesting but unlikely: Cowboys and Broncos Let's talk about America's Team. A Cowboys-Eagles kickoff would certainly pull huge ratings, but it might be a case of overkill. 'The NFL hasn't gotten the message that we don't all set our clocks by whatever the NFC East is doing.' Still, the league might be tempted, even if it's not the most inspired pick. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Broncos offer a more compelling argument. They're feisty, they made the playoffs, and under Sean Payton, they've shown signs of revival. However, the lack of a deep-rooted rivalry with the Eagles means the matchup might feel forced. It could still work — just not as a season opener. Now we're talking: Commanders and Bears The Commanders have an ace up their sleeve — rookie QB Jayden Daniels. If he starts, that alone makes them watchable. Plus, they were the only team to beat the Eagles from October through the Super Bowl. That says something. 'This sounds better as a midseason prime-time game,' but if the NFL can't resist another NFC East showdown, this wouldn't be the worst outcome. Then there's the Bears. Sure, they weren't great last season, but this is a new era. Caleb Williams has been given the tools to shine, and with Ben Johnson making his head coaching debut, there's intrigue. The Bears also boast one of the NFL's most passionate fan bases. While there's a risk of an uncompetitive game, the potential star power makes this a sleeper pick for opening night. Almost too good: Lions Now here's the dream matchup. The Lions, fresh off a 15-2 season, would bring immediate electricity to opening night. Their near-miss at a shot in the NFC Championship against the Eagles still stings, and a Week 1 showdown could write a new chapter. But this one might be too good. 'The NFL has to ask itself whether it wants to use that for opening night or save it for a great Sunday night matchup in midseason?' Given the league's trend of saving its best for later, this might just be shelved for a higher-stakes moment down the line. While the Lions-Eagles matchup would be electric, don't be surprised if the league takes a safer route with the Bears or Commanders. Either way, opening night promises drama, headlines, and the sweet return of football. The favorite for NFL opening night: Rams vs. Eagles The Rams are the favorite to face the Eagles on opening night. After a tense NFC divisional round matchup last season, where the Eagles narrowly escaped a loss, this rematch holds strong appeal. With Matthew Stafford leading an exciting offense featuring Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, the Rams are primed for a competitive showdown. This matchup offers star power, a playoff-level challenge, and a fresh non-divisional rivalry. While the NFL might save bigger games for later, the Rams present a perfect balance of excitement and intrigue, making them a top contender for the season opener. Also Read:
