| Showcases an elite skill set in multiple ways. Bowers’ size and speed combo shouldn’t be possible. Measured at 6-foot-3 and 243 pounds, he somehow glides on tape with ease, pairing his natural features with fundamentals and skilled hands. | Wasn’t perfect as an in-line blocker in the SEC. Sure, his mistakes were limited while facing top competition at the college level, but there isn’t a ton to pick on as a well-rounded prospect. Sometimes would be pushed around against strong press-man coverage. |
OVERVIEW: The most exciting tight end prospect in the NFL draft since Kyle Pitts in 2021, which can both be a badge of honor and a possible red flag. Can't-miss tight end prospects have made a habit of being boom or bust. However, Bowers leans heavily on the "boom" potential after a stellar college career, winning both the 2022 and 2023 John Mackey Award, given to the nation's top tight end, and becoming a three-time All-American. He'll have some adjustments, just like anyone, to the professional game, but Bowers is the real deal.
