Edge

Bowens is a big framed edge who probably projects best as a 3-4 end or moving inside in a four-man front. A productive player with positional versatility and even played some receiver as a freshman before playing solely on defense the last two seasons. Not a super twitchy athlete and can continue to improve athletically but has a physical edge in his game with strong hands and shows a non-stop motor. Flashes good straight line quickness and closes well on the football. Has the multi-sport background we like with a solid track profile in the shot and discuss. Plenty of long term upside here and if he hits, Bowens has an NFL ceiling.
