Lynn Bowden

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Lynn Bowden Jr. No. 80 overall in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft Friday night.

Kentucky’s do-it-all athlete led the SEC in rushing last season with 1,468 yards, the first quarterback to lead the league in rushing since Auburn’s Cam Newton.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Raiders plan Bowden at running back to begin his NFL career.

Head coach Jon Gruden called to let Bowden know the Raiders would be selecting him with the 80th pick. If you haven’t already seen it, the Raiders posted a video of the conversation below.
