I only really follow the ND players in the NFL, how is Kyle Pitts going in the NFL? Are he and Brock Bowers similar?
Tough to gauge on Pitts. His QB play has been terrible. But he hasn't produced as much as people probably expected.

Bowers is more similar to Pitts than he is to a Gronk. But I wouldn't read much into that as Kelce is probably more similar to Pitts.

He had a 1,000 yard season as a rookie, than batted injuries last season. That being said, he hasn’t really found the answer as much as one would have hoped - only four touchdowns in two seasons.

Brock Bowers love is a little ridiculous too.

Mayer had more catches, yards & TDs last year, and was a much better blocker, all while be double & triple covered & everyone knew that’s where the ball was going, while Bowers was always 3rd option…but people still have Bowers all the rewards.
Great post. Bowers is a great TE, but Mayer was better & the best in the country last season. The Raiders got a steal as I thought he would go 1st round.

Mayer definitely should've won the Mackey award last year.

Brock Bowers is an elite athlete. At least I get that impression of him when I watch him in games. Mayer is a very good athlete that is very smart in finding opportunities to get open.

He absolutely should have gone the first round. Teams bought into the narrative that downplayed his abilities. Raiders got a steal, and I expect given his extreme competitive nature he'll use the disrespect as a chip on his shoulder. I fully believe he'll outperform every TE drafted ahead of him, and as a complete TE will outperform Bowers in the NFL too given he's a superior blocker.

SIAP, but why does Alt have a gold captain "C" and Hartman has the regular white one? I think Bertrand might have a gold one too.

So great to see his success...he's a BIG kid in the grocery store (he lives down the street from my folks in North Oaks and a mile from me).
