Eli Stowers

What the tape shows

Stowers is a smooth route runner with an excellent feel for zone coverage — he accelerates into soft spots, sits quickly, and presents a clean target with good hands. His athleticism at 6-4/239 is unprecedented at the position; the 45.5-inch vertical is not just a Combine milestone, it shows up on tape as an ability to go up and get the ball in contested situations that most tight ends simply cannot match.
