WORLDWIDE RAMS

Ed "Pi Double I" Henderson

Player Bio: Lynn Bowden Jr prepped at Warren Harding High School in Youngstown, OH. Perceived as one nation's most dynamic playmakers at the prep level, every significant school sought after him to play for their respective universities. Bowden played quarterback and was a threat every time he touched the ball as passer or runner. During his senior year at Warren Harding High, he threw for 1,366 yards, rushed for 2,277 yards, and scored 57 combined touchdowns. Bowden Jr. earned the 2016 Division II Offensive Player of the Year, the Northeast Ohio Inland District Offensive Player of the Year, and Trumbull County Player of the Year. He finished second to Mike Warren (Toledo), as the runner-up Mr. Football in Ohio. Bowden Jr. owns just about every school record at Warren Harding and is Ohio’s sixth all-time rusher with 7,387 yards and scored 91 touchdowns that ranked him 10th all-time. Nothing changed once he arrived at Kentucky. He was a triple threat now, as a receiver, quarterback, and return specialist. Compared to former Kentucky player and current Houston Texans receiver Randall Cobb, who played quarterback too before exploding with the Green Bay Packers.​

#1 lynn bowden 2019 highlights

Strengths: Here is a kid, every time on film, seems to amaze every time he touches the ball. A very shifty and slippery when in space who will make defenders guess wrong. When it comes to speed, he is the truth, who can take any given play the distance. Bowden is a versatile player who played quarterback, running back, and receiver that set all sorts of records at Kentucky. A robust and powerful runner with a build of a running back. As a runner, he has excellent knowledge of the field and will shoot through a crack instantly. He has excellent body control and balances even after contact.

Weaknesses: As a receiver, his ideal routes were quick screens and slants. Limited film of him running specific routes. The availability of the route tree is yet to be discovered. Where will he fit in at the next level, receiver, or running back? His athleticism may leave him as a specialty player and in the return game.

Draft Grade: 6.24

Draft Projection: 4th round

NFL Comparison: Randall Cobb
