Scouting Report: Strengths
- A slippery multi-purpose back, Bowman has some skills that translate to the next level.
- Has good straight-line speed with quick acceleration and a second gear downfield. Has a good-sized frame to add some bulk and get stronger.
- An excellent blocker on the outside, he also adds value in the running game.
- His initial burst is excellent, and he’s capable of running out of a traditional setup or taking the ball lined up next to a quarterback in shotgun.
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and he shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- Bowman accelerates 0-to-60 and hits top speed fast enough to outrun angles. He’s also flexible and agile, able to keep the pedal to the floor as he turns and weaves.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- The lack of size is an obvious problem, and Bowman will have to prove his worth on special teams
- As a runner, he too often looks to bounce outside and make the big play, rather than pick his way through traffic.
- Bowman really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.
