Classic BR answer to a BR report question.
Bleacher Report: Alabama Football: Julio Jones Left a Void Only a Bow-Man Can FillBut, BR aspects aside (which oftentimes get a bad reputation as there truly are some good opinions produced by some of their writers), I agree that Bowman is in position to be a dominant player for us this year. I love his size, speed, and athleticism. He could be a very dominant red zone threat for us the next 3 years.
Does anyone know how fast Bowman is? If he played with the TE's last year I would expect him to be a little slow for WR.
He has a low of 4.5 and a high time of 4.68 listed. He is not a blazer, but it is size and build that set him apart as a red zone threat where separation speed gives way to the importance of ball skills, body position, and size. I remember multiple reports his freshman year that he was tearing up our first team D in practice. As a result he was the only true freshman to see the field in 2009.
Multiple reasons were rumored for the TE experiment, but I am glad to see him back at WR where I think he'll be a huge weapon for us.
