Todd Monken has one of the best athletes in college football on his offense at Georgia in Brock Bowers, who continues to excel and be a headache for defenses.
Monken on Wednesday at a Peach Bowl press conference was asked about Bowers having the mental bandwidth to know that many different positions and play that many different positions.
“Well, we’ve had this conversation since I’ve been here about Brock, and what kind of worker he is, attention to detail, mental toughness that he has,” Monken said. “And he’s really developed in a lot of areas. And it’s a credit to him. It’s a credit to his upbringing, his family. And like I said, there’s a lot of things you can do with him. He’s outstanding with the ball in his hands. He’s got an elite catch radius, ability to compete to go get the football. And so, again, he’s meant a lot to us in terms of this year in terms of having an AD out and his ability to make plays.”
Bowers this season has 52 catches for 726 yards and 6 TDs, which are all team highs. He also has 93 rushing yards on just 6 carries, and 3 of his rushes this season have gone for TDs, including a 75-yarder against Kent State.
