Philadelphia selected Stowers 54th overall as a potential successor to nine-year veteran Dallas Goedert.
The Eagles drafted tight end Eli Stowers in the second round (54th overall) despite multiple teams expressing concerns about his knee during pre-draft evaluations. Stowers, 23, enters the league as a candidate to develop behind Dallas Goedert, who is entering his ninth season in Philadelphia.
Goedert caught 60 passes for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. The knee questions did not prevent Philadelphia from committing draft capital to Stowers, signaling confidence in his ability to groom into a long-term option at the position.
