The Denver Broncos made only one move this offseason to add outside help to their team, but it was a massive move to their credit.
They traded a first and third-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. But, even after that big move, the Broncos still might need to add to the offense, and specifically, at tight end.
With such a need in mind, it's not a surprise they're visiting with a tight end for a top-30 visit. However, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network is reporting that Denver is one of the teams hosting Eli Stowers on a visit with the TE potentially transitioning to a WR in the NFL.
Broncos host Stowers on top-30 visit
"An interesting note on Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers: While officially he's a TE, several teams are evaluating him as a WR," Rapoport notes. "At 60foot-4, 239, his build can be compared to Mike Evans. Stowers, by the way, visits with the Broncos next week..."
The Broncos going out and landing Stowers in the 2026 NFL Draft wouldn't be too big of a surprise. They've been linked to tight ends all draft cycle, and could get him with their 62nd overall pick.
He's a tight end with some incredible athleticism, most notably his ridiculous NFL Combine record 45.5-inch vertical jump, a ridiculous 11' 3'' broad jump, and a strong 4.51 40-yard-dash time.

The Vanderbilt tight end might end up making the transition to wide receiver in the NFL, as his best work comes as a receiver, not a blocker.
Denver tried things with Evan Engram a year ago, and instead of trying to run it back with Engram in 2026, they could take Stowers in Round 2 and give him a chance to earn the starting tight end job.
Denver could send out the 6-foot-4 Stowers alongside 6-foot-2 Pat Bryant and the 6-foot-4 Courtland Sutton for what would likely be the biggest wide receiver trio in the NFL.
Bo Nix has a great supporting cast already, but things could get even better with a tight end addition like Stowers. Even if he moves to a WR full-time in the NFL, having him as another bigger WR would throw opposing defenses for a loop.
