INDIANAPOLIS -- O.J. Howard likely already had a spot atop the Giants' draft wish list before the NFL Scouting Combine. But after Howard's jaw-dropping showing in Indianapolis, there should be no doubt that the dream scenario for the Giants would be the Alabama tight end dropping to the 23rd pick.
Howard had the fastest times among tight ends in the 3-cone drill (6.85 seconds) and 20-yard shuttle (4.16 seconds), which highlighted his quickness and agility. The 6-foot-6, 251-pounder also demonstrated his straight-line speed with a 4.51-second 40-yard dash, which ranked second among tight ends behind Evan Engram's incredible 4.
