Forget AJ Brown for a second and start to think about what the Philadelphia Eagles have in store for the 2026 NFL regular season. They drafted not only Makai Lemon but Markel Bell and Eli Stowers in the first couple rounds.
Stowers starts to warrant the cushion the Eagles need at tight end with a trending alert at the position. Ever since Sean McVay incorporated a three tight end set because of men down. Teams have been loading up on tight ends and especially at this past year’s 2026 NFL Draft.
The Eagles played well on defense last year. There were Maxx Crosby rumors floating around.
With the return of Dallas Goedert, him, Grant Calcaterra, and Stowers will have specific roles to play and implement strategy for big opposing men such as them, feasibly, to move on from Brown and create speed on the outside for Lemon and Devonta Smith through wear and tear.
The Los Angeles Rams almost won against the Seattle Seahawks in last year’s NFC Conference championship game but due to Mike MacDonald’s dominant safety, nickel and linebackers scheme. They won fair and square against a heavy tight end pass rush.
Now, is the Eagles and Eli Stowers’ time to shine bright as most teams will look to add strength and physicality at the second level.
