Timothy L. Bowens (born February 7, 1973) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive tackle for 11 seasons with the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Ole Miss Rebels, and was chosen with the 20th pick of the 1994 NFL draft by the Dolphins.[1]

The Dolphins were initially criticized for picking Bowens, as he was overweight and had played only nine games in his college career at Mississippi.[2] He had a terrific rookie season in 1994, and Bowens was named 'The NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year' by the Associated Press.[3] He played with the Miami Dolphins for 11 years[4] before he retired after the 2004 NFL season. He was inducted into the Miami Dolphins Honor Roll on October 27, 2024.
