Brock Bowers, the highly-touted rookie tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, is gearing up for his NFL debut this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. As the 13th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Bowers enters the league with massive expectations after winning back-to-back national championships at the University of Georgia. But as Bowers prepares to showcase his talents on the field, something else has captured the attention of fans—his hairline.
A recent video of the 21-year-old surfaced on social media, sparking an unexpected viral moment. Fans couldn’t help but notice Bowers’ receding hairline, which has become the subject of plenty of online chatter. The video quickly made the rounds, with people pointing out that his hairline may be retreating faster than his rise to NFL stardom.
In comparison to a photo of Bowers from just a few months ago in May, it’s clear that his hair has been thinning.
A side-by-side look at Bowers during his time at Georgia shows that his hairline, while receding, wasn’t as noticeable a year ago.
The change in his appearance has led to a flurry of comments and jokes from fans across social media.
Despite the light-hearted roasting, Bowers seems to be handling the situation just fine. As one fan pointed out, “With or without hair, the guy’s still winning at life.” And it’s hard to argue with that sentiment. Bowers signed a four-year, $18 million rookie contract with the Raiders and is set to become a key piece of their offense.
Off the field, he’s been in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Cameron Rose Newell, and the couple seems to be thriving. In fact, recent pictures of Bowers with Newell show that he’s got plenty going for him, hairline jokes aside.
While his hair might be thinning, Bowers’ career is just getting started.
As he prepares to take the field for his first NFL game, fans are eager to see if the former Georgia standout can live up to the hype and make an immediate impact. If his past success is any indicator, Bowers is likely to be a dominant force in the league, whether or not he’s sporting a full head of hair.
