Former Vanderbilt football tight end Eli Stowers was on the cusp of being selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Stowers became emotional, as many draftees do. But first, he faced a quiz.
Before Stowers was taken by the Philadelphia Eagles at 54th overall in the second round on April 24, Eagles executive vice president Howie Roseman had a couple questions.
Vanderbilt football’s X account posted the interaction, with Roseman calling Stowers to tell him the news, first asking if Stowers could name the Eagles’ history of tight end selections in the second round.

“What’s going on man, it’s Howie Roseman from the Eagles,” Roseman started. “We’ve got a pretty good history of selecting tight ends in the second round. Can you name any of them?”
“Yeah, the one you’ve got there right now (Dallas Goedert),” Stowers replied.
