This is the third in a series highlighting players who could be selected by the New York Jets with the sixth overall pick in the April 27 draft:
Player: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama
Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 251 pounds
Scouts, Inc. ranking: No. 8
Draft projection: Fourth to 15th
Scouting report: Howard is a true tight end, not an oversized wide receiver masquerading as one. In other words, he's a three-down player. Not only is he a big, fluid athlete who impacts the passing game, but he's an effective blocker who won't be a liability on running downs.
