For the second year in a row, the New York Jets have emerged as major winners in the NFL offseason. This year, they are particularly hopeful that their success in the offseason will carry over into the regular season, especially after Aaron Rodgers’ early injury last season cut short their hopes.
The Jets have a chance to further enhance their roster and provide Rodgers with additional top-tier talent. They hold the No. 10 pick in the draft, and the consensus among scouts and analysts is that they will select Brock Bowers.
Bowers is scheduled for an official visit with the Jets this coming Monday, according to NFL insider Peter Schrager. Recognized as a once-in-a-generation talent at tight end, Bowers has been considered ready for the NFL since last season.
A formidable player, Bowers excels whether he’s in the slot or out wide, and his exceptional catching ability has been a significant advantage. He has led his team in receptions every season and has twice been awarded the Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end.
Given Bowers’ potential to become one of the all-time great pass-catching tight ends, pairing him with one of the NFL’s legendary quarterbacks is an exciting prospect for the Jets and their supporters.
