From the episode

There was reports about him just like having like a red shirt season essentially. Right. And we don't know that's for sure at all. I mean, that's, that is the thing with Stowers.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Stowers' age and potential red-shirt season create risk despite pass-catching upside.

JJ Zachariason is interested in Eli Stowers as a potential rookie tight end dart throw but notes there are reports he could have a "red shirt season" essentially. Stowers is older than Kenyon Sadiq, which is concerning because a rookie season without production is typically a rough sign for an older prospect. Stowers can't block, but that's not required for a pass-catching tight end. Zachariason is anxious to see how Stowers fits in the new Eagles system with Jalen Hurts.
