Las Vegas Lynn! Lynn Bowden has been drafted to the newly relocated Las Vegas Raiders with the 80th overall pick.
He had to wait a little long, but the Raiders may have to just landed the offensive steal of the draft. Being paired with Jon Gruden and new teammate Henry Ruggs III, Bowden will get his chance to shine under the bright lights in Vegas.
Congratulations to Lynn and his family.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to his drafting:

It was so awesome to see the growth of Lynn Bowden as a person and as a player from the moment he first stepped foot on campus as a freshman at Kentucky up until being a third round draft pick for the Raiders.

The Raiders just drafted Lynn Bowden so it's time to watch the high school video of the time high school punter Lynn Bowden took a bad snap for a 99-yard touchdown pic.twitter.com/q4ubTrDYjo

And yes, Las Vegas plans to play him at RB at the beginning. But he can also play WR and more. https://t.co/JU188zKLi4

Lynn Bowden to help the Raiders light up The Strip. Last Kentucky player drafted by the Raiders franchise was offensive tackle Greg Kunkel in the 12th round in 1988 https://t.co/E6yTl3kk7t
