Brock Bowers admits he would be 'alright' with playing for Tennessee Titans

With the 2024 NFL Draft fast approaching, experts are crunching the numbers, trying to predict where some of the top players in this year’s draft will land. Former Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers is widely viewed as the best tight end prospect in this year’s draft. And with his championship pedigree, he will be a highly sought-after talent.

Recently, Bowers was asked about what NFL franchise he would prefer to select him. The former Bulldogs star tried to keep his response diplomatic. Still, he ultimately revealed which franchise he would like to be a part of next season.

“Whoever wants to take me. It’s hard to say,” said Bowers. “I would love to go to; I would be alright going to the Tennessee Titans. I liked it down in the Georgia-Tennessee area; thought it was cool. Yeah, that would be a cool spot to go.”

The Titans don’t exactly have a need at tight end, with second-year Maryland Terrapin Chigoziem Okonkwo holding down the position. Okonkwo was second on the team in targets (77), catches (54), and yards (528), only behind former all-pro wideout DeAndre Hopkins. However, acquiring another elite big-body talent on the outside, such as Bowers, could go a long way in Tennessee quickly rebuilding themselves and competing in the AFC South division.

Bowers reveals how practicing against Georgia’s elite defense prepared him for the NFL

Bowers is one of the top prospects ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, taking home the John Mackey Award twice in his three-year college career, presented annually to college football’s most outstanding tight end.

He did so playing in the SEC, the conference that most consider the most competitive across all of college football, comprising the most talent. But the competition at his practices may have been even stiffer, consistently facing one of the most elite defenses in college football history during his time in Athens.

Bowers joined Matt Barrie on ESPN’s ‘SportsCenter’ on Wednesday and spoke about how practices at Georgia have prepared him for the next level ahead of the NFL Draft.

“We always said the practices were gonna be harder than the games and that’s how it was,” Bowers said. “I mean coming in there going against guys like Travon Walker, having Jordan Davis, and Nakobe [Dean], and Quay [Walker], and all those NFL dudes. I mean I think after my freshman year all those dudes were on NFL rosters and just doing their thing. So it definitely made me better throughout my three years.”

Bowers bust onto the scene in his freshman season with the Bulldogs, ending the year with 56 receptions for 882 yards and 13 touchdowns en route to a national championship victory. He made a multitude of All-American teams and earned numerous Freshman of the Year awards following the season, but before the season, he had to prove he belong on Georgia’s practice field against a historic defense.
