Silver And Black Pride on Brock Bowers
From the article
Brock Bowers can surpass Jason Witten (188) for the most receptions by a tight end under the age of 24 in NFL history. Bowers needs only 13 catches to reach this milestone, and it wouldn't be surprising if he did it in the season opener against the Dolphins. Bowers has been QB Kirk Cousins' go-to target throughout training camp, so expect the third-year tight end to be targeted often in Week 1.
STACKED’s take
Bowers needs 13 catches to break Witten's under-24 receptions record.
Third-year tight end Brock Bowers needs only 13 catches to surpass Jason Witten's record of 188 receptions by a tight end under the age of 24 in NFL history. ESPN's Ryan McFadden projects Bowers could reach this milestone in the season opener against the Dolphins, noting Bowers has recorded at least 10 receptions in a game on five occasions, most recently 12 catches in Week 9 of 2025 against the Jaguars and 13 catches against the Dolphins in Week 11 of 2024. Bowers has been QB Kirk Cousins' go-to target throughout training camp, so expect the third-year tight end to be targeted often in Week 1. He should be the focal point of Kubiak's offense, especially since the Raiders' receiving corps leaves something to be desired.
