Las Vegas Raiders star Brock Bowers rose to prominence during his rookie season in 2024 as one of the best tight ends in football. Though Bowers missed time due to being hurt in 2025, he is still viewed as being among the elite tight ends in the NFL as the new season approaches.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Bowers ranks as the No. 1 overall tight end in the NFL for the 2026 season. The poll was voted on by NFL coaches, executives and scouts.

“People inside the league love Bowers' versatility as an offensive chess piece. He can line up in the slot, out wide or even as a fullback. He has breakaway speed, too, pushing a top speed of 19.58 mph on a 57-yard touchdown vs. Denver in 2024, per NFL Next Gen Stats.”

Bowers still managed to record 680 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 2025 despite playing in only 12 games on the year. He was on pace to record 963 receiving yards had he played in all 17 games last season, just short of a second consecutive 1,000-yard season after going for 1,194 yards the year prior, but still showed the ability to make spectacular catches and perform at the highest level at the position.

Bowers was given the nod over Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride (No. 2) and San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (No. 3) by those polled for the story, the former of whom went for 1,239 yards last season, and the latter having been one of the best players at the position of this generation.
