Major Bowden brings veteran depth and pass-catching juice to Lamar’s backfield
In the 2025 season, Major Bowden profiles as a compact, experienced Lamar running back who adds versatility as both a runner and receiver, with the Cardinals highlighting him as a returner who came back from injury and can impact the backfield in multiple ways.[10][13] His recent production has been modest but efficient in spots, including 63 carries for 251 rushing yards and 1 touchdown in 2025, plus meaningful receiving usage that shows he can do more than just tote the rock.[6][8] If a team wants a low-drama, veteran RB with toughness, slot-like receiving value, and proven familiarity with the system, Bowden is a sensible fit; if it wants a high-volume bell cow, this is more complementary piece than centerpiece.[2][10]
