They went heavy run scheme put him predominantly at H and F. He is playing out of scheme fit in a run block heavy scheme that asks him to chip release more than just come off the line.I’m not that big a bowers fan…. I just don’t think te will ever be featured. He’s a great receiver no doubt, but does he provide immediate impact? I don’t think so. Not like someone like say newton.
Bowers isn't like Kyle Pitts. Pitts was all athleticism and receiving g talent that might develop into a blocking TE. Bowers is an elite blocking TE that just also happens to be an elite middle of the field receiver. Pitts had solid college receiving numbers and unicorn athleticism. Bowers isn't as a dominant athlete but he has dominated on the field at rhe highest level of college football. Bowers is closer to TJ Hockenson who was picked 8th. (But if you want a prospect comparison instead of giving Kelce like every other person I'll go Sam LaPorta.)
He is one of 3 blue chip prospects in this class. Marvin Harrison jr Joe Alt and Brock Bowers.
Also calling him an elite book king te is a little far. Good? Sure. Elite? No. He’s got a career low 70s run blocking grade.
