Raiders TE Bowers sets pair of rookie records
Written by I Dig Sports
NEW ORLEANS -- Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers broke a pair of pass-catching records in Sunday's game at the New Orleans Saints.
Bowers first surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka's 63-year-old record for most receiving yards in a season by a rookie tight end with a 13-yard catch late in the second quarter. Bowers bested Ditka's mark of 1,076 yards set in 1961 for the Chicago Bears.
The Raiders rookie had 1,105 receiving yards on the season at halftime.
In the second half, Bowers caught his fifth pass of the day for an 11-yard pickup. That gave him 106 receptions, one more than Puka Nacua had for the Los Angeles Rams in 2023, to set the record for most catches in a season by a rookie at any position.
