Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers is in Denver today for a Top 30 visit with the Denver Broncos, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The visit marks a significant step in the pre-draft process for Stowers, who has seen his draft stock rise significantly following a historic performance at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Stowers solidified his status as one of the draft's premier athletes by setting a new Combine record for tight ends with a 45.5-inch vertical jump. His explosive testing numbers and various workout feats have made him a high-priority target for teams seeking vertical threats at the position. The Broncos are utilizing one of their limited Top 30 visits to get a closer look at the Vanderbilt product before the NFL Draft begins.
Under NFL regulations, each franchise is permitted to bring in up to 30 out-of-area prospects for interviews, meetings, and physicals at their team facilities. This visit allows the Denver Broncos coaching staff and front office to conduct in-depth evaluations of Stowers as they look to bolster their offensive depth. Per @RapSheet, the visit is currently underway.
