Broncos fans spotted interesting hat in background of Eli Stowers' draft call
What could have been? Somebody at Eli Stowers' draft party was wearing a Broncos hat when the TE got a call from the Eagles.
After the Philadelphia Eagles selected Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft, the Commodores shared a video of the moment Stowers got "the call" from Philly's draft room. Somebody who attended Stowers' draft party, perhaps a teammate, friend or family member, can be seen in the background of the video wearing a Denver Broncos hat. Stowers, of course, was heavily connected to the Broncos leading up to the draft, but the Eagles picked him at No.
54 , and Denver was not scheduled to pick until No. 62 ( they eventually traded back ). The person wearing the Broncos hat can be seen soon after the video begins: The call that made the dream real 📞 pic.
