As you can tell from my user name and signature I have seen a lot of Bowman. He is a physical beast and can make spectacular catches all day long. Sometimes he has mental lapses and drops easy wide open passes (taking off to run before securing the catch, etc).

You won't find a more impressive specimen from a height/strength at WR but he's not a speed burner. Ideal for catching fades in the end zone and breaking tackles on shorter routes for big gains against smaller corners.

If he can pull his head out and not make stupid decisions (actually just the one stupid decision to smoke pot leading up to the draft and getting busted) he could be a Colston-type steal late in the game, especially if a team can pick him up as an UDFA. He's ready to physically contribute in the NFL.

He's also a really good blocker on the outside to support the running game.

didnt he just get caught with weed? after running like 4.75 at the combine and his proday? and dropped more balls than he caught at the senior bowl?

Yes, yes, and yes. But he's still one heck of a football player. :)

he got caught over here in marion county with a small small bit of weed, but no one said he smoked it. Heck he might have been trying to sell it. Regardless. Weed is weed. Plus, he had troubles ever since he graduated a few years back. Look at him leaving UNC. Also, he is really slow and has better things to do apparently than play pro football

To be fair the charges were dropped from the weed accusations at UNC, they tried to get him to come back but by then he was heading to OSU to play for Coach Wyatt who originally recruited him to UNC.

So, straight from his brother Mike, who if I am not mistaken may be signing with Oklahoma State next year...Adarius has gotten no calls about teams at all. His agent told him prior to the draft to go ahead and buy that Bentley he got pulled over in and he could pay it off with his signing bonus. Now he owes a ton on that car and has no job. See that kids...stay away from drugs.

So much for that college education making you a smarter person.
