He will be missed for sure. Wish him well and hope he makes it in the NFL.

If anyone here is surprised by this needs to contact me!
I just hope he decides to play in the bowl game!

He has said he would play in the bowl game, per KSR.

He should play in the bowl game. Josh Allen was predicted to go a lot higher than Lynn is right now and he played last season!

I hope he's making the right choice. He hasn't really shown what he can do as a wide receiver. But I would think he's getting good feedback from NFL people to declare. He's a special player and we'll miss him next year.

He is a great college player who might be a great NFL player. It all depends on which organization he ends up with. His ability to gain yards after the catch is what will determine his draft status, but unfortunately, that can't be assessed in the combine, and this year provided no opportunity for him to showcase that.

That said, his ability to run the ball cannot be questioned, nor can his elusiveness in the open field. And the most important thing, his sheer determination, is clearly evident. In these things, he reminds me of Edelman, the outstanding receiver for the Patriots.

As for UK players who made it in the NFL, Bowden reminds me of Cobb, who has had a solid NFL career and is still playing with the Cowboys. I sure hope he brings us home a bowl game and gets drafted by a good team.

If you read the article, he said he will play in the Belk Bowl.

We were lucky to have him as long as we did and hope he goes out in style and plays his best game of his UK career.
