NFL Coaches Shade Brock Bowers: 'Less Explosive' and 'an Expensive Luxury Item'

Georgia tight end Brock Bowers was almost a cheat code in college, but fans might have to reset their expectations for the 6'3" pass-catcher.

The Athletic's Bruce Feldman spoke to one NFL scout who said Bowers "is a real athlete" but "smaller and a little less explosive than people thought."

"I see him as a really good starter," the scout said. "I think he's gonna be in the slot as more of an F-tight end. Evan Engram is a good comp. Evan's faster but probably not as physical."

Feldman cited an offensive assistant who stuck a similar tone.
