The Eagles add another skill position player, drafting tight end Eli Stowers out of Vanderbilt with the No. 54 overall pick.
Stowers played five seasons of college football, starting his career at Texas A&M before spending a year at New Mexico State and transferring to Vanderbilt for his final two seasons.
The 6-foot-3, 239-pound Stowers had 638 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2024 before posting 62 grabs for 769 yards and four scores last season.
Stowers earned first-team All-American honors and won the Mackey Award. The Eagles now have drafted the nation's top wide receiver (Makai Lemon, Biletnikoff Award) and tight end.
Stowers joins a room with Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra, E.J. Jenkins, Cameron Latu, Johnny Mundt, Stone Smartt, and Jaheim Bell.
