So with a CFL debut that featured six receptions, 112 yards, and a touchdown, will NFL teams reconsider their decision to diss receiver Adarius Bowman?
Some league insiders think that any solid performances by Bowman in Canada won’t matter, given the off-field negatives that not only excluded him from the draft pool but that also kept him from being one of the throng of undrafted free agents who were signed in the wake of the draft.
Per one source, Bowman would have been drafted but for concerns about his character.
“The reason Bowman has been snubbed is because of very bad behavior and dubious character, not because of any lack of ability,” the source said. “Had he been clean, he would have, at minimum, been a fourth rounder.”
If Bowman can stay out of trouble and also can continue to perform at a high level in Canada, he’ll surely get a shot with an NFL team.

So why were so many other f–k-ups drafted? Bowman BETTER get a shot with an NFL team, just so fair is fair.

Why the Titans didn’t take a late round flyer on this guy is beyond me.

Disappointing that “the source” has enough guts to slag Bowman, but not to put their name to it.

Disappointing that “the source” chips away at Bowman’s character but does so anonymously.

JonS,
I believe its “Adam Jones in Canada.” The production team made a late change to the title…some PR mumbo jumbo or something…

Quincy Morgan also had a couple of nice receiving days. That still didn’t mean he was good enough to crack a starting lineup anywhere.

It’s just one game. Plus, receivers probably have the hardest time transitioning from the CFL to the NFL due to the massive advantage forward motion gives to CFL receivers.
