    Brock Bowers is rewriting the NFL record books Sunday. The Las Vegas Raiders tight end now has the most receiving yards for a tight end in his rookie season in NFL history, breaking Mike Ditka’s 63-year old record for most receiving yards by a tight end in his rookie season in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. 

    Bowers also passed Puka Nacua for the most receptions by a rookie in NFL history with 106 (Nacua had 105 last season).

    Bowers passed Ditka on a 13-yard catch in the second quarter. He entered Sunday’s game just 9 yards shy of Ditka’s mark of 1,076 (set in 1961) and is the third rookie tight end to surpass 1,000 receiving yards in a season, joining Ditka and Kyle Pitts (1,026 in 2021). 

    Bowers has set the Raiders record for most receptions in a single season, passing Darren Waller’s record-setting 107 grabs in 2020. The young star is eyeing Zach Ertz’s record of most receptions by a tight end in a season (116). He’s the first rookie tight end to amass 1,100 receiving yards in a season. 





    In a historic moment for the Las Vegas Raiders, rookie tight end Brock Bowers has surpassed wide receiver Puka Nacua for the NFL rookie receptions record. Bowers’ impressive performance on the field has not only solidified his place in the league but has also broken a 63-year-old record previously held by Hall of Famer Mike Ditka.

    The Raiders’ offense has been firing on all cylinders this season, and Bowers has been a key contributor to their success. His ability to find openings in the defense and make clutch catches has made him a favorite target for quarterback Derek Carr.

    With this record-breaking achievement, Bowers has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with in the NFL. Raiders fans can look forward to many more memorable moments from this talented rookie as he continues to make his mark on the league. Congratulations to Brock Bowers on this incredible accomplishment! #RaiderNation #NFLRecords #BrockBowers

  • Puka Nacua unsure if Travis Hunter can be two-way player

    Puka Nacua unsure if Travis Hunter can be two-way player


    Travis Hunter is most likely going to be a star in the NFL after putting together a remarkable and historic career in college. The Heisman Trophy winner will be a top pick in the upcoming draft, whether he’s viewed as a cornerback or receiver at the next level.

    He was a two-way player at Colorado and was outstanding on both sides of the ball, but Puka Nacua isn’t sure he’ll be able to sustain that workload in the pros. He says it “definitely would be a challenge,” but Nacua says Hunter has a “great skill set” and is excited to see him take his talents to the NFL.

    The Rams won’t be in position to draft Hunter so we unfortunately won’t see him paired with Nacua at wide receiver or Cobie Durant in the secondary, but he’s going to be a must-see player no matter where he’s selected.

    Hunter is a generational talent who could excel at two different positions, making him unlike any other player in the draft.





    Puka Nacua, the star wide receiver for the University of Washington Huskies, is unsure if highly-touted recruit Travis Hunter can successfully transition to a two-way player in college football.

    Hunter, a five-star cornerback and wide receiver from Florida, has garnered attention for his exceptional skills on both sides of the ball. However, Nacua believes that playing both offense and defense at the collegiate level can be a challenging task.

    In an interview, Nacua expressed his doubts about Hunter’s ability to excel on both offense and defense, citing the physical demands and mental focus required to play two positions effectively. He emphasized the importance of specialization in college football and the need for players to focus on honing their skills in one specific area.

    While Nacua acknowledges Hunter’s talent and potential, he remains skeptical about his ability to excel as a two-way player. Only time will tell if Hunter can prove his doubters wrong and make a successful transition to playing on both sides of the ball at the collegiate level.
