Bowers is the NFL's most unique weapon in the passing game. He can beat both defensive backs and linebackers by getting open or making ridiculous contested catches and is used more like a 'WR1' than a typical tight end, commanding the attention of the opposing defense's best coverage defender every week.

Bowers is NFL's most unique passing weapon; only elite WRs comparable.

Matt Holder assesses Brock Bowers as "the NFL's most unique weapon in the passing game," capable of beating both defensive backs and linebackers and used more like a 'WR1' than a typical tight end. Holder notes Bowers "creates a lot of matchup problems, similar to how Sean Payton used to use Jimmy Graham in New Orleans" and commands the opposing defense's best coverage defender every week. Holder states there "aren't many other skill players around the league that I'd take over the third-year offensive weapon," with only top-tier wide receivers like Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson being comparable, calling Bowers "just such a unicorn."
