Georgia TE Reports NFL Draft World on Hamstring Injuries

Georgia tight end Brock Bowers could be the top overall athlete in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he projects as a game changer wherever he goes.

The issue is that tight end is a difficult position to take early in the draft value-wise, and Bowers has some recent injury concerns that may have some teams wondering if he is worth a top-15 to top-20 pick.

He is obviously talented, but he had a high-ankle sprain in 2023 and missed three games for Georgia this season. Bowers is currently recovering from a hamstring ailment that held him out of both the 2024 NFL Combine and Georgia’s recent pro day.

However, the skilled tight end does not appear to be bothered. In reality, he recently told the media that his latest injury is minor.

“I tweaked a hamstring slightly, but it’s not a major deal. “I just wanted to give it a little more time so that I could be at my best when I’m out here performing,” Bowers told On3.

Bowers missed the combine and the UGA pro day, but he did say that he plans to hold a private workout for NFL teams in roughly a month.

“Speed is an important aspect of this procedure. I want to run faster. That’s part of it,” Bowers said, explaining why he’s taking things slow with his hamstring.

The NFL Draft begins on April 25, so he still has time to demonstrate what he can accomplish in shorts and a t-shirt.
