“When that ball touches my hands, it comes so natural,” Bowman said. “I just feel like I prepare very well for my opponent. I definitely work very hard. The results don’t come as a surprise.”<\/p>\n
The biggest critique toward Bowman throughout the draft process has been his size. He’s 5-foot-10 and 192 pounds. His arm length was measured at 28 \u00bd inches, giving him a wingspan of 70 \u00be inches. Bowman ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash, a 2.59 20-yarder and a 1.56 10-yarder at the 2025 NFL Combine.<\/p>\n
Because of those numbers, Ulbrich considers Bowman a little undersized for the safety position and therefore plans to place him at nickel<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I think that’s a little bit more conducive to his skill set,” Ulbrich said. “The little bit shorter limb, little bit smaller in stature. I think nickels need short-space quickness. They need the ability to match guys in the slot. Obviously they’re going against, typically, the quickest receiver. So, he matches that profile perfectly. Plus, high-level intelligence.<\/p>\n “Not to mention, we’re talking about like off-the-charts character, too. Just true love for ball. He’s going to bring talent, but he’s going to bring leadership as well.”<\/p>\n
