Bowden has the experience for the job, but he will need to create better velocity to handle the duties of not only short snaps but long snaps as well. He’s likely a long shot to make an NFL roster.
Mote spent four seasons as Georgia’s long snapper, but he was the full-time short snapper for only one season. Mote snaps with decent accuracy but lacks NFL-caliber velocity on punt snaps. That lack of velocity and lack of experience snapping for kicks will greatly diminish his chances to make it in the league.
