Tight End Prospects to Watch
Below are 2024 NFL Draft-eligible tight ends who I’ll be keeping an eye on this coming season.
Brock Bowers (Georgia)
The consensus top tight end prospect, Bowers was so good last season that it was hard to notice eventual third-round pick Darnell Washington at times. Bowers isn’t nearly the physical specimen Washington is, but he has the ability to line up all over the formation (most frequently in the slot) and offers a very reliable pair of hands (five drops against 119 receptions over the past two years) with dynamic run-after-the-catch skills. Perhaps most importantly, the 230-pound tight end is also a very effective blocker in the run game.
Jalin Conyers (Arizona St.)
One of the more productive tight ends in college football during the second half of last year, Conyers is well-built at 6’4”, 265 pounds and caught 29 passes and five touchdowns over his final five appearances. Despite his size, he’s not the most effective blocker, and it took him until late in the year to work his way onto the field for significant snaps, especially because the Sun Devils used a fullback surprisingly often last year. It’ll be interesting to see what he can do with a bigger offensive role in 2023.
