Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers received a message from San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle ahead of the teams' upcoming game, according to a report from Heavy.com on Friday.
The interaction between the two tight ends adds a personal subplot to the interconference matchup. Bowers, a rookie standout for the Raiders, and Kittle, a multiple-time All-Pro for the 49ers, represent different stages of their careers at the same position.
Further details about the nature of the message were not immediately disclosed. The Raiders and 49ers are scheduled to face off in the coming days.
