Overview
- Players placed Bowers at No. 60 on the NFL Top 100 in the latest reveal, a 36-spot drop from his No. 24 ranking last year.
- Bowers missed five games in 2025 with a left-knee PCL sprain and bone bruise, finished that season with 64 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games, and was later placed on injured reserve.
- Multiple teammates praised Bowers’ all-around skill set, with Maxx Crosby calling him “elite” and Dalton Schultz highlighting his speed and yards-after-catch ability.
- League evaluators told ESPN that executives, coaches and scouts still view Bowers as the top tight end, and analysts say Las Vegas’ hire of Klint Kubiak plus additions at quarterback improve his path to a rebound.
- Monday’s Top 100 ranking marks the latest public check on Bowers’ standing and sets expectations for 2026 if he stays healthy and receives more consistent quarterback play.
