“When that ball touches my hands, it comes so natural,” Bowman said. “I just feel like I prepare very well for my opponent. I definitely work very hard. The results don’t come as a surprise.”
The biggest critique toward Bowman throughout the draft process has been his size. He’s 5-foot-10 and 192 pounds. His arm length was measured at 28 ½ inches, giving him a wingspan of 70 ¾ inches. Bowman ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash, a 2.59 20-yarder and a 1.56 10-yarder at the 2025 NFL Combine.
Because of those numbers, Ulbrich considers Bowman a little undersized for the safety position and therefore plans to place him at nickel.
“I think that’s a little bit more conducive to his skill set,” Ulbrich said. “The little bit shorter limb, little bit smaller in stature. I think nickels need short-space quickness. They need the ability to match guys in the slot. Obviously they’re going against, typically, the quickest receiver. So, he matches that profile perfectly. Plus, high-level intelligence.
“Not to mention, we’re talking about like off-the-charts character, too. Just true love for ball. He’s going to bring talent, but he’s going to bring leadership as well.”
Bowman is originally from Denton, Texas. He’ll come to Atlanta — for his first time ever, actually — in a few weeks when the Falcons’ three-day rookie minicamp begins May 9.
The 22-year-old is more than ready.
“Everything starts over now,” Bowman said. “Gotta go back to work.”
