The Las Vegas Raiders have had tight end Brock Bowers for less than two months after he was drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft and he has already drawn a nickname from wide receiver Davante Adams.
According to Adams, the Georgia product is apparently all business when it comes to football, which is certainly not a bad thing for a rookie who is trying to learn the ropes and acclimate to the NFL.
As a result of that demeanor, Adams has nicknamed Bowers "business man" or "BM" for short, he revealed following practice on Wednesday.
"He don't care about nothing else other than just locking in on football," Adams said. "I can see it in his eyes, I try to tell a joke and get him to laugh — talking to the rookies, did a little panel with them a week ago — and he was sitting there stone-faced. Didn't laugh at a thing I said. So I was like, this is 'BM' right here. I told him that yesterday, I gave him his nickname. I see what he's about, I've seen the tape. He's a big, strong dude and he's focused and driven, so sky's the limit for him."

Bowers has managed to stand out early on in his Raiders tenure, as he's flashed both playmaking ability and versatility in practice. And I'm sure more of his personality will shine once he really gets comfortable.
