Stowers' slow start is due to overthinking, not talent; effort and development trajectory positive.

Stowers is off to a slow start, prompting questions about why GM Howie Roseman chose him given the team's Super Bowl potential. However, Roseman made the move with eyes wide open, valuing Stowers' potential enough to believe he can be an impact player for the Eagles in the future. The issue isn't a lack of talent; Stowers is struggling because he's thinking too much and lacks experience—he's like a young driver who must think about every step rather than playing instinctively. He's shown good effort on special teams and as a blocker, staying late to work on the JUGs machine, and Kelee Ringo believes he will overcome this with more reps, time, and coaching.
