Eli Stowers entered the 2026 NFL Draft from Vanderbilt as a TE prospect. PHI selected him in Round 2 with the 54th overall pick.
At TE, the central evaluation points are route value, hands and in-line blocking ability.
His NFL development will depend on balancing receiving work with NFL blocking assignments.
As a Day 2 selection, he should compete for an early role while developing toward regular starting work.
