Brock Bowers 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.45 seconds

Brock Bowers is a two-year starter for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. He possesses solid height and has adequate weight for the tight end position at the pro level. Bowers ran a 4.50 40 time at the Nike Sparq Camp in 2019. Based off of that time, we’ve predicted a 4.45 40 time for him, which would be much quicker than the average for tight ends.

Bowers displays good speed and athleticism to outrun defenders across the field. He adjusts to passes that are placed high, even when is body is turned away from the quarterback. Tremendous at tracking and catching the ball in heavy traffic. In my opinion, he has an elite-level catch radius. Shows a good ability to square up the defender and drive through his blocking assignment, opening up wide running lanes for the ball carrier, a trait that he thrives at accomplishing. After the catch, he has a good ability to break tackles and remain upright through contact. Possesses a very good second gear to outrun defenders with the ball in his hands.

However, he displays adequate explosiveness and burst out of his stance and off the line of scrimmage, as he’s often the last receiver off the line. He has an inconsistent ability to find and attack defenders when asked to pull block from the in-line tight end position. Needs to improve upon his ability to diagnose coverage and sit on routes across the middle of the field to maximize space for the quarterback to throw into.
