Bowman was born and raised in Cadillac, Michigan and attended Cadillac High School.[1] He played college football for the Central Michigan Chippewas,[2] where, as a senior, he was honored by the Associated Press as a third-team All-American.[3]
Bowman was selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 1985 NFL draft.[4]
During his rookie year, 1985, in the Divisional Playoff game against the Oakland Raiders, Bowman recovered two fumbles on Special Teams, one which led to a Tony Eason touchdown pass 2 plays later. The second fumble recovery occurred following a Sammy Seale fumble on a kickoff. Mosi Tatupu knocked the ball loose, and it rolled into the end zone where Bowman recovered it for what proved to be the game winning score in a 27–20 Patriots victory.[5]
Bowman also played with the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, a 46–10 loss to the Chicago Bears.[6]
