Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia

Height/Weight: 6-3, 243

Age: 21.3

Strengths

  • Explosiveness: Elite takeoff and open field speed for the position
  • Utilization-Versatility: More then a Y or even flexed out TE. Can play off the ball, as a traditional WR or even as an H back that takes snaps on jet sweeps
  • RAC: Vision, speed, and power in the open field to break tackles, make people miss and eliminate pursuit angles
  • Blocking: Much better than he’s given credit for. Creates displacement both at the second level and along the edge
  • Competitiveness: Could have shut it down after injuring an ankle that required surgery. Instead opted for tightrope and a chance to get back and win another championship with Georgia

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

  • Contested Catch: Doesn’t always corral the ball in tight quarters
  • Size: Some teams may knock him for not being of traditional Height-weight-length measurables at the position
  • Durability: Ankle that required surgery and forced him to miss testing and workouts during pre-draft process

Evaluation:

One of the better pure prospects in the class, positional value and the recent play of former top 5 pick and Falcons TE Kyle Pitts may cause Bowers to slide, but he’s a top 5-10 overall player in this class. With traits that are reminiscent of a WR #1, coupled with an ability to play in-line and hold up at the point of attack, Bowers is a weapon that offensive coordinations across the league will be yearning for.
