Eli Stowers selected No. 54 by Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have selected TE Eli Stowers with the No. 54 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact:

Stowers, a converted quarterback, set NFL Combine records for a tight end in the broad jump (11' 3") and the vertical jump (45.5"). In his two seasons at Vanderbilt, the Commodores found different ways to get him the ball. He also ran a 4.51 40-yard dash at the Combine, so yards after the catch should be a plus for him as well. Stowers plays more like a wide receiver than a tight end as he will need to improve on his blocking. TE Dallas Goedert appears to be nearing the end of a very good tenure in Philadelphia, so Stowers could be the Eagles' tight end of the future.
