Pros and Cons of Eagles Picking Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers in 2026 NFL Draft
- On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers with the 54th overall pick during the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
- A former quarterback converted to tight end, Stowers earned First-Team Associated Press All-American status and won the Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end in 2025.
- Recording 62 receptions for 769 yards last season, the 239-pound athlete posted a 4.51-second 40-yard dash and 45.5-inch vertical jump at the NFL Scouting Combine.
- Stowers will serve as the TE2 in the Eagles offense, providing immediate depth behind 31-year-old Dallas Goedert while positioning himself as the long-term successor.
- With all current tight ends on one-year contracts, Philadelphia's selection aligns with the team's strategy of developing young talent to replace aging veterans on expiring deals.
