Former Georgia football tight end Brock Bowers is fresh off one of the best (if not the very best) rookie tight end seasons in NFL history. Because of his electric season, there is a lot of hype surrounding him not just in the Las Vegas Raiders organization, but across the entire NFL as well.
The hope for Bowers now is that he will be able to build off his impressive rookie season and continue to make his case in 2025 for why he is the best tight end in the NFL. That means he needs to have a productive offseason to put himself in that position.
However, word recently came out that he decided to skip an optional offseason program with the Raiders. This may seem like a questionable decision for anyone to make, but his reason for skipping is about as good as they come.

Bowers is finishing up his finance degree at the University of Georgia.
Despite being the best in the league, Brock is making sure his future is secured.

Brock Bowers continues to work towards his degree
Bowers is one of those players that perfectly defines what it means to be a Bulldog, and that is the case both on and off the football field. Another prime example of this is shared in the above post as Bowers is back in Athens taking classes to finish his finance degree instead of working out with the Raiders this offseason.
Knowing Bowers, he surely is doing his own workouts in Athens while taking classes, so there’s no need to worry about him falling behind on the football field.
Bowers is already going down as one of the greatest Bulldogs of all time for so many reasons, but the one thing missing is his degree. It appears however that this is a top priority for him now, and once he finishes his degree that will only add to the legacy that he is leaving in Athens.
