Eli Stowers's Player Profile

Eli Stowers is a compact, physical tight end whose profile is built on strength, blocking ability, and the ability to win as a chain?moving receiver in the short and intermediate windows. He plays with a low pad level, strong hands, and a competitive edge that allow him to anchor and move defenders in the run game, while also showing the ability to track the football and win at the catch point on quick routes and seams. His ability to function as an inline blocker and an inline or H?back mover makes him a natural fit for power?oriented schemes that want a true tight end in the traditional sense.

Strengths: His biggest strengths are his blocking ability and physical presence in the run game, which give him value as a true tight end in traditional and modern schemes, and his ability to win at the catch point and convert short?catch opportunities into yardage.

Weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses are his limited route?running nuance, which can make him more of a timing and concept?based target than a true route?schemer, and his need for more consistent hands and body control, as he can occasionally drop catchable targets in traffic.
