Lynn Bowden Jr. was one of the high-potential selections made by the Raiders in April, but he won’t make it to the regular-season field in Silver and Black.
“You see the game changing from year to year, the use of the RPOs (run-pass options) and the use of the Taysom Hills, those type of players that played the RPO-style offense in college, they become valuable,” Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson said of Bowden in early August, via the team’s official website. “We believe that he can transition and be a running back, as well as do some of those plays at the quarterback position that he did in college.”
