According to Olsen, “he might be the best college tight end production-wise, just the eye test,” in his words.
Olsen would be familiar with what makes a successful tight end.

Bowers has the potential to be a fantastic tight end like Olsen.

The arrival of Bowers will greatly benefit this offence, which already features Davante Adams, another tight end in Michael Mayer, former 1,000-yard receiver Michael Gallup, and free-agent signee Alexander Mattison.

In Bowers’ rookie season, expect this offence to remain difficult to stop even without All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs.
