Both Brock Bowers and his partner Rose Newell were among the names being closely watched ahead of this year’s first round in the NFL Draft. The Georgia tight end was widely expected to become the initial player picked at that position, while his girlfriend gained attention for potentially stealing some limelight on draft night itself. As anticipated, these forecasts turned out to be true when Bowers found himself being chosen by the Las Vegas Raiders with the 13th overall pick during Thursday’s proceedings. The two-time national champion was surrounded by friends and family in his hometown of Napa, California for the draft ceremony itself.
Rose stood proudly beside her partner as he made history; however, she didn’t have to worry about being overlooked this time around because Bowers’ mother wasn’t present at the event – a welcome change from previous occasions when his parents had been in attendance. Instead, Rose was able to bask in the spotlight alongside Brock and take her rightful place beside him as he prepared for life after college football.
The images of family members congratulating their star son sparked social media reactions too; with particular attention given by netizens toward his sister’s unusual body artwork: an eye-catching, all-over tattoo sleeve on one leg that was impossible to miss in the photos circulating online after Bowers had been selected.
The rumor mill also went into overdrive when it emerged that Bowers found himself playing for Las Vegas as soon he crossed a few signatures upon sealing his rookie contract; some observers speculated this might be an attempt by the Raiders to persuade Tom Brady out of retirement and back onto their books.
Now, however, there’s little time left for any such chatter – or celebrating come to that! After all, it isn’t long before NFL rookies must buckle down in preparation for preseason games; but first, they have the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved break with their loved ones.
Rose seems to be acutely aware of this fact and has already taken steps to ensure that her partner enjoys his moment in the sun before he heads off to Las Vegas. The University of Tennessee alumna took to social media shortly after Bowers had been picked out by Las Vegas to share a touching post for her NFL-bound boyfriend, wishing him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter in his life – and urging everyone else following their story online to do likewise.
It’s still too soon to say whether Brock Bowers will meet expectations after being picked out during the first round of April’s draft proceedings; history has taught us that there have been a few disappointments when it comes to college stars failing to deliver in pro football leagues. Still, judging by Rose Newell’s recent post on social media and Brock Bowers’ own demeanor at his homecoming party last week, the couple seems ready for whatever challenges lie ahead during their time together in Sin City!
