With the 2024 NFL Draft now just over three weeks away, one of the most highly touted prospects set to come off of the board in the first round is former Georgia tight end Brock Bowers.

Bowers has been praised for the pure level of impact he had within the Georgia offense as a steady, explosive playmaker who is a true jack of all trades.

And it's all earned him high praise from analysts and some of the NFL's greatest minds. ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., who recently spoke on Bowers, is just one of many.

“Give me a break. He’s just a tight end? He’s everything,” Kiper said on ESPN's "First Draft" show. “Watch him play. …You can use him in the backfield. You can put him anywhere on the football field. “He is a nightmare trying to match up with. I don’t care where he goes, he’s going to be a whale of a pick."

“He could be in line to be Rookie of the Year in the NFL if he goes to the right team and the right quarterback. I love Brock Bowers. I loved him when he came to Georgia. He was an immediate impact performer.”

Bowers finished out the 2023 season in Athens with a total of 56 catches for 714 yards and 7 touchdowns over 10 games. He ends out his college career with 175 receptions for 2,538 receiving yards and 31 combined touchdowns between his efforts through the air and on the ground.

Kiper has Bowers going to the New York Jets at No. 10 overall in his latest mock draft.

Regardless of where he ultimately lands, there's hardly any question the two-time John Mackey Award winner will find his landing spot early on in the first round of the event on April 25.
