Brock Bowers has an average build for the position; he's fairly slender with well-distributed muscle mass and decent power.
He is an outstanding athlete for his position, with elite explosiveness, very good acceleration, and excellent speed.
His short-space explosiveness is excellent thanks to great footwork, and his agility and body control are also good.

He has taken snaps in several positions, primarily as a slot, split out wide, but also In-line and in the backfield.
Mainly aligned in the slot for his receiver TE profile, Bowers has great athleticism, but he struggles a bit to create separation against Man coverage. His arm use is decent, but the main issue is that he doesn't have a diverse release package; he's faced little press, which has made his job easier, but the few times he has, he's had more problems than I would have thought.

He is a precise route runner, and the routes where he can best express his athleticism are to his advantage, but he will need to develop his route tree to create more stress on opposing defenses. He has a very good Stem (the initial vertical segment of a receiver's route, i.e., the part of the route preceding the receiver's break) and his in and out breaks are sharp, so it's important for him to expand his route tree.
Against zone coverage, he shows very good IQ, knowing when and where to sit down in his route to provide a viable option for his QB, but he also knows how to create off-script. He is a major threat on all Hi-Lo crosser routes, as that’s where he can best utilize his athleticism.

Brock has excellent ball skills, a large catch radius due to long arms, very good upper body flexibility, and great eye-foot-hand coordination.
He tracks the ball well and has a good hand technique, however, at times, especially in traffic, I found him a bit soft, in some big play situations (even on acrobatic catches) I would have liked to see a bit more elite playmaking ability.
He is a significant threat with the ball in his hands, having very good vision and not easily brought down thanks to his good power-to-speed ratio.

In run blocking, I find Bowers' performance in-line to be a mix of good and less good. He needs to work technically on his hand placement and leverage battle. His lack of power against big IDLs in the NFL could be a problem if he is used too much in this aspect of the game.
In motion or in the slot, he has shown more good than bad, but he needs to improve his block angle-taking to be a big problem.

Brock Bowers is the modern TE prototype, an excellent athlete with very good ball skills.
He will mainly be used as a slot TE, but with technical progress, he could be often utilized in run blocking.
Bowers should quickly establish himself among the best TEs in the league.
I evaluate Brock Bowers as a first-round prospect and a top 5 talent.
