Brock Bowers Scouting Report - 2024 NFL Draft

Brock Bowers is our TE1 for the 2024 NFL Draft. In this Brock Bowers Scouting Report, we will provide you with film-based analysis, strengths, weaknesses, ideal scheme fit, player comparison, and a brief fantasy football rundown.

Brock Bowers Scouting Report

Brock Bowers enters the 2024 NFL Draft as one of the best tight ends in Georgia history. His 63 receptions in 2022 rank second on the all-time single-season receptions list, with his 942 yards ranking fifth all-time. Bowers was the leading receiver on two national championship teams, and he'll go down as one of the better tight end prospects in college football history. There's not much Bowers is incapable of doing. As a receiver, Bowers excels, consistently flashing aggressive, strong hands after nuanced routes with tempo and separating ability through his stem. He wins at the catch point consistently, and he can bail out a bad ball with an acrobatic or unlikely catch. As a blocker, Bowers is tenacious, consistently displacing defenders and being a force in the run game. Bowers is an elite athlete with fantastic tackle-breaking ability. He can take a short screen to the house, a trait many tight ends don't possess. Bowers has an NFL-ready body despite his smaller stature, with versatility to play both in-line and as a slot receiver. He'll need to refine his shake out of breaks, but his physicality compensates for that. Dynasty managers should already consider Bowers a top-ten dynasty tight end, and he's worthy of an early selection in rookie drafts this spring.

Strengths in Brock Bowers Scouting Report

  • Elite athleticism and ability to generate yards after the catch.
  • Elite hands, especially in contested catch situations.

  • Often more comfortable being physical instead of separating with routes.
