Kyle Pitts was a different specimen coming out of college, but Brock Bowers genuinely has a chance to be the next coming of George Kittle if paired with the right offense. He may not be as dynamic of a Receiving threat as Pitts, but he is the complete package. That’s something you don’t see too often in modern Tight Ends. He may be undersized, but his physicality and toughness are unmatched. As Bowers is an elite athlete with stellar ball skills, he’s the ideal weapon to add to a modern offense. Pair him with an excellent quarterback-play-caller duo, and he just might be one of the few elite tight ends in the league.

Brock Bowers shows elite speed to separate on this crosser in the clip above. You can see he initially struggles to get a release, but it ultimately doesn’t matter, as he just outruns the DB once he cuts on the route.
Bowers shows incredible toughness at the catch point in this clip. Out of the inline position, he runs a streak, and the catch says it all.
He practically bullies a DB here as he pushes him back nearly ten yards. It may just be a DB, but it takes excellent power to get that kind of push.
There are several high-end traits on display in this clip. First, he makes a terrific break out of his route; then, he has the speed, vision, and balance to take it to the house.

It may seem unfair to compare Brock Bowers to a rare player like George Kittle. However, he has eerily similar traits as a prospect and could grow into just as dominant of a player. His play style and the fact he’s a bit smaller draws the question of whether he’ll hold up physically in the pros. It’s hard to say, but he’s avoided any serious injuries so far, so I wouldn’t let it affect his draft stock.
While he may not be quite as freaky as Kyle Pitts, who went in the top ten, he impacts the offense in ways Pitts can’t. Bowers still needs to improve as a run blocker, but with his strength and attitude, that can indeed happen. No Tight-end prospect in my time keeping up with the draft has had a full-fledged skillset like Bowers with as high of potential as he has. If paired with a creative play-caller, the sky is the limit, and I can’t wait to see where he lands come draft day.
