Brock Bowers is good — really good.
Clearly one of the best young players at his position, Bowers has set another high-water mark.
With his 21-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the 49ers, Bowers became the all-time leader in receptions by a tight end in his first three seasons.
Bowers passed Trey McBride, who had 221 in his first three years.
Bowers has accomplished the feat in just 36 games, having missed five last year.
The tight end caught 112 passes as a rookie, 64 in his second season, and has 58 in his third season so far.
The 49ers lead 35-17 in the fourth quarter.
