Eli Stowers set a modern NFL combine record for tight ends with a 45.5-inch vertical leap on Feb. 27 in Indianapolis.
The Vanderbilt football tight end was already considered one of the top tight end prospects in the draft class, a possible top-100 pick, before his combine workout.

But Stowers had a record-setting NFL combine performance.
The First Team All-America honoree set positional combine marks in several drills:
- Stowers' 45.5-inch vertical leap was second highest regardless of position in the combine since 2003.
- Stowers' broad jump of 11 feet, 3 inches is the longest measurement in combine history for tight ends, dating back to 2003.
- Stowers ran an unofficial 4.51 40-yard time, second among tight ends behind Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq. Stowers' time would have been fastest among tight ends last year.
