Eli Stowers Fantasy Overview

Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq stole headlines at the Combine on Friday with his 4.39-second 40-yard dash. But Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers actually edged Sadiq 9.46 to 9.43 in Relative Athletic Score. Stowers checked in at 6'4 and 239 pounds -- about a half inch taller and two pounds lighter than Sadiq. He ran a very strong 4.51-second 40-yard dash and crushed the jumping drills with a 45.5-inch vertical and 11'3 broad jump. The testing lands Stowers in the 94th percentile among all TEs since 1987. It adds to an exciting profile that already included a strong receiving skill set. Stowers racked up 111 catches for 1,407 yards over the past two seasons. The big question is whether he can hold up enough as a blocker to earn a full-time role as a pro. He's riskier than Sadiq as a dynasty target, but Stowers arguably has just as much upside.
