The Good: Athletic weak-side linebacker prospect who makes plays sideline to sideline. Plays with a large degree of quickness, immediately alters his angle of attack, and fluid moving in reverse. Easily redirects to the action, fast to the flanks, and flashes on the scene showing suddenness in his game. Displays skill in coverage and speed in every direction of the field. Displays a lot of ability in pursuit.
The Bad: Undersized, gets caught up in the wash rather easily and slow regaining his balance off the initial block.
The Verdict: Bowman is an athletic prospect best chasing the action in pursuit. He's efficient and effective in coverage and offers starting potential in a conventional 4-3 alignment.
