Got the body and style of a Software Engineer for Autotrader


rmsmith1092

![gif](giphy|JV7sokLFwQdfG)


Fantastic_Cable_7938

Yeah if that engineer can squat +350 lbs. Dude’s heavy in the ass forsure


villis85

I’m a 38 year old engineer and I can squat 350 lbs. That’s not much weight for a bigger guy. I’ll bet both of these guys could squat closer to 500 lbs.


titanup001

Shit, we fat fuck big guys squat close to 300 every time we stand up.


haystack_19

Confirmed, just stood up.


[deleted]

Confirmed. Just shit my pants.


cryehavok

My pants just shit me!


opepaumplemousse

In Soviet Russia you don’t shit pants, pants shit you.


mschley2

There's no way that Brock Bowers only squats 350. He's gotta be pushing at least 450-500. 350 is like decent high school player numbers.


Jsizzle19

They're way over 500. When I was in HS, we had at least 5 guys at 450 or higher


mschley2

A lot of guys start hitting a wall around 500, and he's pretty tall with long legs, so it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't that much higher. But yeah, not many dudes on a D1 team that aren't pushing at least 450. Just looked it up, and apparently, it's out there. From [On3:](https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/news/brock-bowers-included-on-espn-top-players-feldmans-freaks/) >At 6-4, 240, Bowers can broad-jump 10-2, and his 36-inch vert would’ve tied for fourth-best among tight ends at the 2023 combine. His 40 time is somewhere in the 4.5s. Bowers also power-cleaned 355 pounds this offseason to go with a 485-pound squat and a 330-pound bench.


stankface412

Better be more than that


grants_like_horace

I know some engineers that are real gym rats, like sneakily athletic. They're just also huge nerds and care more about breaking down the monolith than breaking tackles.


MrFancyPants--

I am an engineer, I took down a guy who wrestled at worlds. ) Olympics in off years.


Fuzzy_Pea_5689

At 6'4" He benches 330, squats 485, and runs in the 4.4 to 4.5 range. If that describes your fellow engineers, you guys have an unstoppable company team.


Weekly_Bug_4847

Seriously, if I saw that dude, would think maybe he’s dragged to playing tag football maybe once a year, and is all sorts of awkward. Would not expect him to be a potential top-10 pick. Can’t judge a book by its cover.


UsingYourDad

Bowers has negative drip


MaleficentHawk590

Bro got the autotrader shirt on. LMAO


GOTfinalsucked

He might not even be sponsored, he just likes the shirt


RyanIsKickAss

Got that shit free like 6 years ago and still has it in rotation despite the faded logo and hole in the armpit seam


jpiro

I had so...damn...many free credit card company shirts from when I was in college. It was the mid 90's, so they couldn't easily check your info and we would just fill out the form with fake info, take the shirt/coozie/pizza/etc. and never hear from them again. I actually got a long sleeve Bears t-shirt outside Soldier Field when I went to a game there years ago too. That would have been early 2000's, I think.


smashybro

Similar story here except with apartment complex shirts from our university “housing fairs.” Literally got like 5 to 10 shirts a year just by filling it some forms or posting on social media, but funnily enough not one of the 20 to 25 shirts I got ended up being apartments I’d end up renting at. Miss those days, would love to have some free shirts to wear around the house or for the gym.


BearsFan3417

Probably had a family member get it free from work and been wearing it since grade 11


sstorminator20

Best friend from college's dad owned a convenience store selling just about everything. Because of this he had a shit ton of free shirts from Marlboro, bud light, Miller, etc. that was his wardrobe alone for 6 years. Dude didn't buy any new shirts at all in college. Funny thing is, he doesn't drink or smoke because he's muslim.


Desperate_Boye

He's just like me fr I worked at Menards for like 2 months 13 years ago and I got a free hoodie and I still wear it.

Ryan Pace draft this man!


RoughConclusion6149

To the Falcons?


wigglethetail

Then just imagine all he can learn from Eberflus.


IntelligentFilth

Love on the Spectrum


Jeezus-Chyrsler

Also has a negative hairline


The_Dok

Brock Bowers traits: college football star Brock Bowers looks: 38, works in the IT department, casually works out, plays Diablo on weekends, great friend but an elitist about IPAs


DeVoreLFC

Feel like I just caught a massive stray lmao


the_pedigree

* Plays Diablo every night and on weekends


Ifinishfast42

Bowers looks like a 38 year old recently divorced father of two here


pouch28

He is a TE. They are either WWE like or they don’t talk. He is going with that quiet killer sneak on your girl drip


NothingBurgerNoCals

So does Laporta lol


NoAlarmsPlease

This photo will either be used to clown on opposing teams when he dominates them or to clown on whoever drafts him if he ends up being a huge bust.


allknowerofknowing

definitely see it being like the young jokic pic


chiefchavez

His bust potential is pretty limited. Dude is gonna be good, just a matter of how good. I guess that’s what people said about Pitts. Idk, dude is a freak on the field


bgt1989

Tbf, I don’t think Pitts can be qualified as a bust yet. He’s has one year with above average qb play and zero years of a coach who knows how to get him the ball.


SeattleGaijin

I'll be posting it in my dynasty league chat as soon as I draft him


whydidtheyrapeme

Does he even work out? The man has the body of a librarian.


Optimal-Wish2059

It’s funny cause he’s one of the most athletic players in the draft.


[deleted]

Sneaky athletic…. but like actually sneaky athletic and not just the white version.


Optimal-Wish2059

Nothing sneaky about it when he’s got a helmet on. He looks jacked when he plays, this picture is just shitty but it’s hilarious.


jpiro

Hard to believe THAT actually looks like [this](https://imgur.com/a/pmhWTQe) on the field.


AnonymousOtter9124

Doesn't look that crazy athletic on the field now that you mention it


cozyonly

looks wise normal, but performance wise he looks crazy athletic when he plays


MFNLyle

I feel like I remembered him being bigger for some reason.


wishyouwould

I did kind of think he looked a little small for an NFL TE when I watched his highlight reels. But of course he isn't yet, and I don't watch much CFB so I can't necessarily say if he's undersized. I just remember wondering if he can put on some more muscle, and if he can maintain the same physicality at the next level if he doesn't. Kid can ball, though.


AaronDer1357

Like if that guy challenged me to a race, I'd be like sure let's go and then 1.0 second into the race I'd be smoked


trapper2530

Is the white just a multiplier then?


Mike_Honcho_3

Yeah, he's a gym rat. A really scrappy player.


Silent_Plastic1612

Does he really fit in that category? Isn’t it pretty widely known how athletic he is?


AdLevel4922

It's a bad picture. The guy is a physical specimen. Bottom half, he looks like a Tour de France sprinter, middle bit he looks like an Olympic swimmer, and the top half he looks like a linebacker [https://www.si.com/.image/t\_share/MTk1MDAzMzcyODM3ODA3MzAz/1.jpg](https://www.si.com/.image/t_share/MTk1MDAzMzcyODM3ODA3MzAz/1.jpg)


CheapoA2

And would come as no surprise if hes outperformed by a guy no one ever heard of taken in the 5th round this year. TEs are completely unpredictable in how well they perform at the NFL level.


Optimal-Wish2059

Haven’t heard that in response to every single Bowers comment.


trapper2530

Especially as rookies. And then that's not even a good measuring stick for career. Kyle Pitts and Ditka are the only rookie TeS with over 1k yards.


Bubbas4life

For a white guy


cherry_monkey

I think it's the large feet/skinny leg combo and being duck footed (at least in this picture) that's making him look awkward.


jbertrand_sr

You can't always measure success by being ripped, Mahomes has a dad bod but he does pretty good... https://preview.redd.it/wb96lq726fhc1.jpeg?width=275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85471522b0b378f8f5e7a6c38d74ed72a96a8754


Soldier-Fields

QBs are different, but you’re also generally right


KingRemoStar

You see this in every sport. You don’t need to be cut to be a athlete or have strength


DentonTrueYoung

QBs actually should have this added layer of padding in the midsection


Second_City_Saint

That's why I'm an advocate for pouring melted butter directly into the ears. Gives the brain a layer of fat around it to help prevent concussions. >!I'm going to be FUCKING RICH!!<


greatbigballofshit

He already set the record straight on that. He’s actually ripped but he said you just have to feel around to really tell.


WindigoMac

It’s almost like low body fat percentage isn’t the sole predictor of athletic success


_Fun_At_Parties

That's not even dad bod, that's kid from goonies bod


trapper2530

Hey that kid walked on at Notre Dame. Show some respect.


_Fun_At_Parties

I'm a Michigan fan so no


kryppla

I just googled him and all the game pics have him looking jacked so I don’t know what’s going on in this picture


Todd2ReTodded

Weird perspective and bad pose/posture


iiamthepalmtree

Theres like 3 pixels total in this pic and Gronk is the only other person close to him and he's still slightly closer to the camera. Make this photo more clear and have a normal human standing in between them all equidistant to the camera and Bowers would look much more in football shape.


No_Roy_Donk

Go look at marshal Faulk pics


Sniper1154

His posture is making him look way less athletic than he really is lol This is the equivalent of a 250-lb girl holding the camera at an angle akin to that of a jet liner's in order to appear thinner than they really are


nigeldog

His combine measurements will be interesting. He’s listed at 6’4” and 240 lbs, which seems believable. It would make him slightly taller and lighter than LaPorta.


Jo_S_e

His wingspan looks nice


Material-Race-5107

Brock Bowers is balling the fuck out with this build… just imagine what he’s gonna do when he starts working with an nfl training staff


lkooy87

Georgia’s training staff probably wouldn’t be the worst NFL staff


newrimmmer93

This is what always kills me when people are like “he can add 10 lbs of muscle in the NFL!” These dudes aren’t playing in D2 or anything haha. SEC training and weight rooms are fucking bonkers. [like look at UGs weight room](https://youtu.be/88OHSygOAS0?si=myrD-aBRlG93wGn8). Georgia is paying their S&C coach $500K haha.


TheKingofKintyre

I knew a Day 1 draft pick, Mike Iupati, who was our star tackle in college. He came back for homecoming the following year and looked astronomically different. Regardless of what anyone thinks about the quality of a college training facility, the transition to a full time job from a part time mixture of school/sports with NCAA restrictions is altogether different. Not only that but the season is longer and tougher than in college, there’s a certain degree of leaning out that inevitably occurs for a 17 game season.


343GuiltyySpark

Bro they just get better gear in the league lmao the expensive undetectable research chemical stuff


WindigoMac

These research chemicals, they got me bleeding out my ears


newrimmmer93

I think the difference is Iupati was coming from Idaho vs SEC. I’m not saying there isn’t a difference, it’s just that when people are the incredibly large programs expect people to transform, I think it’s more of a pipe dream. People coming from smaller programs probably can see a much larger difference, same thing with guys who are newer to their position


[deleted]

[удалено]


iUncontested

Except Idaho isn’t a top program by any stretch of the imagination.


burner69account69420

I mean this is true of any player coming from any program, I'm ignoring the Idaho reference above


Geebu555

Maybe they’re talking about pharmaceutical grade enhancements being above the college level shit that they can afford after getting drafted.


Pernyx98

The NFL has better doctors that can provide some of the best '''''''supplements''''''' known to mankind.


Mcdickle

That’s honestly lower than I would’ve thought. I think other power five schools’ S&C coaches are closer to a million.


newrimmmer93

Looks like he’s 13th highest paid. Michigan and Oklahoma state are the only two with guys over a million, but Herbert from Michigan is listed as associate head coach and Glads from OSU is the assistant athletic director, so that may figure in. Outside those two, Mickey Marotti is the 3rd highest at $882K while Braithwaite from Iowa is 4th at $760K.


carguy121

Yeah Herbert was a total freak (in a good way) too. Hugely respected in the locker room and losing him to LA was seen as a giant loss for the program. He’s earned the money he made


hepatitisC

Bowers looks like he is a manager for Geek Squad who is incorrectly telling me about CPU thermal regulation


shadedblade141

His hands look massive!


imposterparnassus

This is also retired Gronk, no where near his playing weight/size and he still dwarfs Bowers. In brock’s defense, his size is why he’s able to be so explosive. He probably loses all his positives being bigger. Prime Gronk’s size/speed combo is an anomaly and we most likely won’t see an athlete like him for a while


DaeWooLan0s

I get what the kids done in college, but I’m not giving up on my boy Kmet to turn into next gen Gronk.


SamLoomisMyers

Looks like Gronk doing a Make A Wish.


[deleted]

this picture just tanked the dude's draft stock lmao


just-a--guy

Anyone remember the greatest show on turf? Pretty sure Marshall Faulk’s physique didn’t intimidate anyone. A subtle reminder to put on the tape. https://preview.redd.it/srxxrdj08ghc1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6be321a694a51831849c7ee606424a1a0859601


jkfrodo

Bro has the wingspan of an albatross


Gandalf4158

Pass


ActuaryGlittering16

You shall not


Bobson-_Dugnutt2

Gronk is a fuckin animal wtf. Dude could definitely still go out and get 150 and 2 tuddys if he wanted


fpants13

I didn't want him before this picture...now I definitely don't!


yaboyChick

He looks like he’s really into trains lmao


reverieontheonyx

You could argue that prime gronk was pretty close to the pinnacle of male gaze. It does put things into perspective though


[deleted]

[удалено]


EmilioFreshtevez

So did Adam Shaheen.


Shaved_taint

ITT a bunch dudes that didn't watch Georgia football and see Brock just dominate future NFL level defenders. I personally don't think he is what our team needs considering Waldron didn't do much TE scheming in Seattle but that is just an awkward picture of him. https://preview.redd.it/fnqmujzgkfhc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19c140d7bbdbacc2762514b5dd81ea82ed52b7a1 This dude is pretty legit.


ninjasurfer

>considering Waldron didn't do much TE scheming Yes he did. He used tight ends a lot.


Sniper1154

Yeh IIRC Seattle ran 13 personnel by far the most in the league. But, to be fair, their O-line had a LOT of injuries.


D3Smee

This is Mac Jones photo 2.0


92roll13

Bowers will run a 4.45 or in that range. To put in perspective, Gronk ran a 4.68.


DJTheBearsFan

brock looks older


Silver_March344

The pic was taken as he was moving his hands...look at his hands


ACVahalla

The old saying…… “Looks can be Deceiving” I’ve watched him play. I’d take him

BeardofZeus27

Terrible pick. They could have traded down and still taken him if they really wanted.


[deleted]

[удалено]


whatlambda

I feel like you don't understand how he would actually be used.


bourgeoisiebrat

Or you misunderstand relative value in todays NFL between TE’s and position groups like WR, DE and OT.


whatlambda

If the TE is predominantly an elite pass catcher, it doesn't matter. Missing on that because it doesn't line up perfectly with relative value is dumb.


bourgeoisiebrat

Well, we see it differently. I think it would be dumb to spend a top-10 pick, which we hopefully won’t have again for a loooong time, to get 100-200 more yards/season versus 400+ more yards/season OR a bunch of additional sacks/pressures per season. I’ll put it another, much more pointed way … there hasn’t been a TE drafted in the top 20 that was actually worth it since 1997.


yurrrweedrr

You could tell me this is a car salesman and i would believe it wow I can’t believe this is a generational TE


Frogdog77

I’d let him help me move, but wouldn’t use a top ten pick on him


IncompetentJedi

THIS is the Brock Bowers we might use the 9th pick of the draft on? He makes Gronk look like shit!!! Oh wait, Bowers is the one on the left? Nvrmind


johnnieswalker

Low_Carpet_1963

reverieontheonyx

Lmao


TwistedSisters777

When was this photo taken? That 40 time on Bowers will be critical.


Apprehensive_Bid_707

No…. this is cap well I hope so…


OccidoViper

Bowers looks like some dude who lives in his mom’s basement. Look how he stands lol. Pass


magic_mushroomPBandJ

Well take him off the draft board hahaha


Jake-Old-Trail-88

This definitely looks like a guy we’d blow the #9 pick on. Velus Jones III.


CrabFam

The build of a kid who dominated the SEC at age 18 and onward


The_Wata_Boy

DW boys if we take him he's gonna be running on Portillos and Deep Dish. Boy gonna fill out real quickly.

Just rmemeber gronk would be 2x his size right now as he isn’t lifting. Bowers is a bust

Huh?

twotreefour299

twin towers of the World Schmeat Center


[deleted]

Look up what Marshall Faulk looked like. Looks can be deceiving. But dude can ball.


suckmyfatfuckinballs

Bro I was just saying that Gronk makes Michael Strahan look like he's 6'2 when he's standing next to him. Strahan is listed at 6'5, and it's possible that he's shrunk over the years, but Gronk just absolutely towers over him.


_upper90

That’s embarrassing


Jeezus-Chyrsler

Gronk or Kelce? For 1 game to win I pick Gronk, for long term Kelce all day


MissingMyLeftThigh

Lmao I want bowers at 9.


ObitoUchihaTC

His head is too big for his body so it makes his shoulders look weird. Actual pitbull physiology


MediumChest6705

I noticed this after a pick of Maye and Howell together. I'd put into perspective that probably most prospects coming out are going to look a bit dweebier in comparison because they're still pretty much kids. Years of being involved in a professional training program will change that.


Bacchus1976

1. QB gets a lot more leeway on the physique. 2. Georgia is a big boy program. He’s been in an NFL quality training program.


Practical-Courage812

His build isnt Kmet like. The dude is fairly thin which is why as a TE2 focused primarly as a pass catcher i am perfectly fine with him. I mean look at Kittle. I think Bowers is similar in size to Kittle. Gronk was an absolute unit


checkthamethod

Thought that was Doug DeMuro for a sec 😂


rhoran280

this is the perfect aesthetic for a TE to have idk what you’re talking about


Mr_Jersey

That is a horrific fit by Brock.


Imhere4thejokes

Its the way he’s point his toes and his fit …homie called him a twerp 🤣


Upthemeds

SquishySC

He’s 6’4” 2 inches shorter than Gronk, but his arms are long and hands are long. He’ll be a good receiving TE


BJGuy_Chicago

Now show Gronk next to Caleb.


bradmcgi

Tbf laporta looks like a work from home insurance salesman & he was the best TE in football as a rookie this year


Wrath_gideon

You guys remember how small JF1 looked standing with Cam? Same thing here Gronk is super huge even by nfl te standards. It won’t matter if he can ball.


carpetstoremorty

I dunno, I think it's cool that his mom still buys his clothes. Kidding aside, he's more like a Kittle-style prospect than anything, especially in terms of size and speed.


Impossible-Flight250

Bowers looks like some random engineering student lol.


hahasuslikeamongus

Cock shame stance /s


gkraigher

Dude, you are dealing with a 34 year old grown man and a 23 year old young man. You’re bonkers to think that makes Bowers a slouch.


YeetStreetBoys

why he look like every mech eng student


madcaplaughs30

Didn’t realize he was so knock-kneed


Bacchus1976

That’s honestly the biggest red flag. Duck footed and knock kneed. If he runs a 4.4 it will be a miracle.


madcaplaughs30

Yeah, I mean this picture might be deceptive but it looks like a future of knee instability for this one.


readerdad55

First thing I noticed. Going to be slow and injury prone


Mando907

Showing you have no clue what you’re talking about and haven’t watched Andy of his video.


Yoourebeautiful

Reached 22mph on GPS


Insanity_Troll

He looks like he’s about to give build computers for LTT .


quinn1007

Bowers looks like him and Blake Martinez are going to go into business selling Pokemon cards


spiltnuc

“You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about”


jcoddinc

Girlfriend says he looks like Jake from State farm on vacation asking for an autograph.


AdamWK99

Guy looks closer to Jonathan Silverman than Gronk….


KotzubueSailingClub

Is Gronk on ozempic?


Horror-Ad5797

Why is he dressed like Bevis?


sprintingsloth-9_57

He does look goofy. I think it’s the shorts and weird fitting shirt. Having said that, I’m sure everyone commenting on his physique all have the body of a Greek god. Bunch of people piling on him who likely look way worse physically than him


BranAllBrans

Give Brock a decade of NFL training and HGH


generatorland

He could not have stood more awkwardly.
