When it comes to new draft picks for the Raiders — Henry Ruggs will certainly get the most attention due to him being a 1st-round draft pick.
Lynn Bowden Jr., who was taken in the third round, is putting the entire fan base on notice to show them they should be excited about him as well.
The running back and return specialist who was drafted by the Raiders in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft was recently in an AMA with Bleacher Report when he was asked whose ankles he wants to break in the NFL.
He didn’t hesitate when he answered.
“Tyrann Mathieu because he’s already got the name ‘Honey Badger.’ Got to prove myself,” Bowden said.
Bowden, a consensus First Team All-American as an all-purpose player, lead the SEC in rushing yards (1,468) to go along with 13 touchdowns during the 2019 season.
