Bowers finished his Pro Bowl rookie campaign with four catches for 50 yards and his first touchdown grab inside Allegiant Stadium. His 112 receptions are the third-most by any tight end in NFL history in a single season and the most by any rookie in league’s history.
Meyers and Bowers also became the first Raiders duo to have 1,000 receiving yards in a season since 2016.
“It was awesome, so happy for him,” Bowers said of Meyers’ milestone. “It couldn’t happen to a better guy. He’s a great guy and I’m super happy for him.”
“During spring I was like, ‘This dude is a baller, I don’t know how he’s not getting more catches,'” Bowers added. “And this year he exploded. It was cool to see”
The Raiders can hang their heads on a hard-fought season through injuries and personnel changes, but now, all eyes will be on offseason improvements. Among them, free agency and the draft. As of now, the team is set to have 28 players become free agents. As for the 2025 NFL Draft, the Raiders are slotted to have the sixth pick.
