Brock Bowers is having a great season (no surprise to any of us)

he has 74 receptions this season

the NFL rookie record is 105 set last season by Puka Nacua with 105
... also last season the rookie tight end in the NFL was set by Sam LaPorta with 86

BUT

Bowers is currently in 2nd all-time for most receptions by a NFL Rookie that is a former Georgia Bulldog

Here are the top ten

Most Receptions by a Georgia Bulldog

In NFL Rookie Season



Herschel Walker (1986) - 76

Brock Bowers (2024) - 74

A.J. Green (2011) - 65

Dan Edwards (1950) - 52

George Pickens (2022) - 52

Terrell Davis (1995) - 49

Marlon Brown (2013) - 49

Ladd McConkey (2024) - 49

D’Andre Swift (2020) - 46

Reggie Brown (2003) - 43


*** Yes, we all know that Herschel Walker played in another league prior to joining the NFL (so did Dan Edwards) but I thought this list was interesting since there were a few names I was not expecting
