The Eagles announced on Monday that they have signed second-round pick tight end Eli Stowers to his four-year rookie contract.
The 54th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, Stowers was a first-team All-America selection, the winner of the Mackey Award, bestowed upon the best tight end in the country, and the recipient of the Campbell Trophy, known as the Academic Heisman, last season.
Tight end Eli Stowers participated in the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles. Check out these portraits from his photoshoot.
The 6-foot-3, 239-pound Stowers had 638 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2024 before posting 62 grabs (second among FBS TE) for 769 yards (first among FBS TE) and four scores last season. Stowers set tight end Combine records in broad jump (11 feet, 3 inches), and vertical jump (45.5 inches).
A quarterback to start his college career at Texas A&M, Stowers began the transition to the skill position at New Mexico in 2023 and became a full-time tight end at Vanderbilt the following year.
