Brock Bowers Named Top-5 NFL Draft Prospect

Georgia tight end Brock Bowers has been listed inside the top 5 on the latest NFL Draft Big Board by ESPN Draft analyst, Mel Kiper.

Brock Bowers hasn't made any decisions about the NFL Draft, in fact, the subject has been completely avoided all offseason. It's not something Bowers nor Georgia have concerned themselves with to this point. Perhaps because everyone knows the obvious... Brock Bowers is going to be a top-5 draft evaluation this upcoming NFL Draft. 

The question becomes, just how high up NFL Draft big boards will Bowers reach? In the latest article released by Mel Kiper Jr. and ESPN, Bowers is ranked as the No. 5 overall prospect in the draft.

Here's what Kiper had to say about the Georgia tight end. 

Bowers was an instant difference-maker for the Bulldogs as a true freshman in 2021, catching 56 passes for 882 yards and 13 touchdowns. He followed up that season with 63 catches for 942 yards and seven scores as Stetson Bennett's No. 1 target, winning his second-straight national title. He's an advanced pass-catcher and should make an instant impact when he gets to the NFL. Though he's not huge -- former teammate Darnell Washington made him look small at times -- he's a matchup nightmare for defenses. He has great hand-eye coordination and run-after-the-catch ability, and he can stretch the field down the seams. I also love the way he tracks the ball, high-pointing it above defenders.
