They got that guy from ND, and two others.  Nobody seems to know how decent they could be.

SEC players only, would be fun for a TE to win it, but I doubt it.

Top 50 burger spots in the United States (msn.com)

Back on topic.
Only ones I've been to:

  • Five Guys
  • Deschutes Brewery Portland Public House
  • The Counter Burger 

Anyone been to Shake Shack or Hopdoddy? I have both local but have never been.

World Street Kitchen isn't even the best burger in South Minneapolis.

Shake Shack is just a fast casual chain sorta like Five Guys.  The burgers at both are fine, but nothing I'd put in a Top 50 list.  I can name 10-20 burgers in Austin alone that are better than either one of them.

Hopdoddy is an upscale/gourmet burger restaurant that started in Austin maybe 15 years ago?  It's really quite good.  Local draft beer and unique, high-quality burgers are their brand.  They've got a poblano burger and a mushroom/chevre burger that I really like.  Honestly I've liked everything I've ever had there.  Lots of folks think it's overly pricey, though.

I didn't sample a lot of burgers in Minneapolis because after I found Matt's Bar I didn't need to.  I'd definitely put that Jucy Lucy up against the best from anywhere else.

Shake Shack is OK, there is one a block from us.  I prefer Farm Burger and Killer Burger and a place called Vortex.  Vortex is sort of known for burgers around here.

I've been to the Vortex down at Little 5 Points once... A meeting of libertarian bloggers, back when I was into that sort of thing.

SEC players only, would be fun for a TE to win it, but I doubt it.

I agree.

I think we had a near-miss n 2020 with Kyle Pitts.  He had a great season, but only played 8 games.  He was the first TE to finish in the top 10 in Heisman voting in 40 years.  12 TDs in 8 games, zero drops for the season, and a big game vs Bama helped.

His numbers if he played 12 games:  65 rec, 1150 yds, 18 TDs.  
Uncoverable.  
Bowers can be that good, too.  
.
I was looking at the Mackey Award winners and was amazed at the lack of TD stats.  The 2021 winner only caught 1 TD all year.  We envision these 6'6" dudes running corner routes or fades or whatever, but only 2 out of 20 winners scored as many as 10 TDs.  That's why Pitts' 12 TDs in 8 games was so amazing.
But Bowers could have a monster season like that.  A new QB's best friend is a good TE.
