- Highlights of Philadelphia Eagles 2nd round pick Eli Stowers
The Philadelphia Eagles added Eli Stowers as a running mate for Dallas Goedert, and the NFL world is already buzzing about the potential impact of the move. The pick gives the Eagles an eventual replacement for Goedert, but for 2026, it adds another elite weapon to an offense set to lose A.J. Brown after June 1.
With top prospect Kenyon Sadiq off the board, Philadelphia turned towards Vanderbilt 's Stowers , who set the NFL scouting combine record for vertical leap at his position with a 45½-inch mark while also logging a 4.51-second 40-yard dash and an 11-3 broad jump. After his teammate at New Mexico State, Diego Pavia , transferred to Vanderbilt ahead of the 2024 season, Stowers followed suit. In his first season at Vanderbilt, he recorded 638 yards and five touchdowns, earning first-team All-SEC honors.
In 2025, Stowers had a standout season with 62 receptions for 769 yards and four touchdowns, once again receiving first-team All-SEC honors for the second consecutive year. Additionally, he was named a unanimous All-American, won the Mackey Award, and received the Campbell Trophy.
