Ben Bowen brings Portland State a tough, depth-chart-friendly back with special-teams value
Bowen’s Portland State profile suggests a physical, team-first back whose value comes from versatility and reliability more than headline rushing totals: in the 2012 season he appeared in nine games, missed two because of injuries, handled special teams, made two tackles, and logged two carries for three yards. That makes him a fit for a roster that wants a willing contributor who can help on coverage units and provide emergency backfield depth, but the limited production also means he projects more as a role player than a featured offensive weapon.
