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.

Holder calls Bowers an NFL unicorn; only elite WRs like Chase or Jefferson rank higher.

Matt Holder describes Brock Bowers as "the NFL's most unique weapon in the passing game" who can beat both defensive backs and linebackers 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. Holder compares Bowers' matchup creation to how Sean Payton used to use Jimmy Graham in New Orleans, calling him "such a unicorn" that there aren't many other skill players around the league he'd take over Bowers—only top-tier wide receivers like Ja'Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson.
