From the episode

I think it's just easier to lessen some of the cognitive dissonance with this just to think of Brock Bowers as Drake London.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

View Bowers as a WR-type playmaker who will see heavy usage upon return.

Bowers should be viewed as a wide receiver archetype (similar to Drake London) rather than a traditional tight end. Once healthy, he will be on the field alongside Michael Mayer in 12-personnel sets for the majority of the time, serving as the team's primary explosive playmaker.
