DEA Seizes Guns From Home of Raiders' 3rd-Rounder and Former Kentucky Star Lynn Bowden
By Michael Luciano
One of the 2020 NFL Draft's most intriguing offensive weapons might find himself on the wrong end of some weapons charges before even playing a down in the league.
DEA officials in Youngstown, Ohio raided the home of former Kentucky star and Las Vegas Raiders rookie Lynn Bowden. Bowden could be seen handcuffed on his porch as officials searched his house and seized several assault rifles and handguns.
Reports from WBKN claim that police have made drug buys from this house in the past, albeit not from Bowden.
Bowden was the team's leading receiver in 2018, but switched to quarterback after a string of injuries. All he did after switching positions was lead the SEC in rushing with 1,468 yards and help the Wildcats to a bowl game. The Raiders picked him in the third round with the intention of converting him into a full-time running back.
Between this and first-round pick Henry Ruggs' mysterious injury, the Raiders' young offensive weapons from the SEC aren't having the best offseason. Someone keep an eye on Bryan Edwards.
No arrests have been made yet, but this still isn't the best look for a guy in Bowden trying to prove himself in the NFL.
