Overview
- Eli Stowers is in Denver for a Top 30 visit, with local and national reporters saying the Broncos are hosting the Vanderbilt tight end.
- Stowers posted rare explosiveness at the combine with a 45.5-inch vertical and a broad jump measured at 11 feet, 3 inches, and he ran a 4.51-second 40.
- Denver is evaluating him for a hybrid “joker” role as a big slot or TE/WR piece that attacks linebackers and safeties in space.
- The interest comes after the Broncos traded their top draft pick to Miami for Jaylen Waddle and saw Evan Engram fall short in the same hybrid role last season.
- Stowers has also visited the Rams, Cowboys and Titans, and while teams love the burst, some scouts question his outside separation and want more agility data, placing him in a possible second-round range.
