Over the next few months, we are going to be taking a look at a handful of draft prospects leading up to the 2024 NFL draft.
With the Chargers having needs at various positions, we will do our best to evaluate the players that we feel fit the team precisely.
Today, I take a look at Georgia tight end Brock Bowers.
Vitals
Height: 6-4
Weight: 240
Stats
Elevator pitch
Bowers is an athletic pass catcher who can win all over the field, create valuable yardage after the catch and create a surge in the run game with his competitiveness as a blocker, but his frame limits his potential in pass protection. He projects as a Day 1 difference-maker for an offense in the passing game.
Strengths
Long-striding athlete with great speed to out-pace defenders…Athletic yards after the catch threat, efficiently transitioning from pass-catcher to ballcarrier…Physical and powerful finisher after the catch…Good-sized hands to swallow the ball away from his body…Comfortable in traffic, making tough grabs look routine…Uses nuance in his routes to stack defenders…Competitive in the run game…Reliable on combination blocks, works well in tandem and out in space.
Weaknesses
Tall and long, but very lean and doesn’t have the frame to add considerable bulk…Delivers pop as a blocker but has average power or grip strength to sustain in pass protection on a consistent basis.

No chance for the LB against Brock Bowers with speed down the sideline. Every team with an athletic TE should steal this! pic.twitter.com/aPVwirtrXs

#Georgia TE Brock Bowers has ridiculous speed for his size, but his competitiveness with the ball is almost as impressive.
His tape if full of "hidden" yards after the catch, breaking tackles and dragging defenders.
