Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has been ranked number 24 on the 2025 NFL Top 100 list in his first appearance. Bowers, who had a notable rookie season with the Las Vegas Raiders, broke Hall of Famer Mike Ditka’s 63-year-old tight end record for receiving yards set in 1963 and set a new rookie record for receptions. Although he did not win the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award, Bowers was selected for the Pro Bowl and named a first-team All-Pro.
“…historic rookie season for Bowers in Las Vegas. Whoever was under center for the Raiders, Bowers was the consistent threat in Vegas’ offense. Bowers set a new rookie record for receptions and broke Hall of Famer Mike Ditka’s 63-year-old TE record for receiving yards set in 1963. Despite not winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, Bowers made the Pro Bowl, earned first-team All-Pro honors and now makes an appearance on the Top 100.” (Attribution as provided)
After one year in professional football, Bowers is described as being among the top at his position, following his successful tenure at Georgia where he became the only two-time Mackey Award winner.
Other prominent tight ends placed lower on this year’s list, with George Kittle ranking at number 31 and Travis Kelce at number 37. According to current rankings, Bowers is the only current Raiders player listed so far this year as voting continues down to number 23. Maxx Crosby is also anticipated to appear later in this year’s rankings.
