    The Trib: DGB to get blanket coverage ... from media

    In the months since Green-Beckham wrapped up his much publicized recruiting process by picking Missouri over Arkansas, Alabama and others, dad and son have talked about the expectations that will follow him to Missouri.

    "I think he understands it," Beckham said. "And he's always had high expectations, and people have always placed high expectations on him. But he's never verbalized it. He's quiet about it. We talk about things, and basically he can only control what he can control. He can't control people's expectations. All he can do is be the best player he can be and be the best teammate he can be.

    "The expectations are just, I don't know, out of this world. So I wouldn't want him to focus on that."

    The amplified media coverage of recruiting and rising popularity of social media played a role in the Green-Beckham buildup — he has nearly 19,000 followers on Twitter — but no more than his production at Hillcrest and an NFL-ready physique. The 6-foot-6, 220-pound 19-year-old set national high school records for career receiving yards (6,353) and touchdown catches (75).

    When practices begin tomorrow, Green-Beckham will be at the bottom of the depth chart like all freshmen, but his dad expects him to respond well to something he never truly experienced in high school: competition for playing time.

    Bowers of course missed the entire 2011-12 season and has rehabbed with trainer Pat Beckmann and strength coach Todor Pandov throughout the last 10 months leading up to today's return.

    "It's a great feeling," Bowers said. "I have been feeling good and the entire staff was great during my rehab, so it was just a matter of time until I was back out there again. I still have some things I want to accomplish, but it was great to get out there and work with the guys."

    Bowers has gone through some team drills already, but has often done conditioning during "contact" portions of the practice.

    It remains unlikely that he will see playing time in Europe, and the senior is focused on being as close to 100 percent as possible for the start of practice in October.
