STRENGTHS
—Still shows the athletic ability and footwork of a tight end after moving from that position as a redshirt freshman.
—Could have potential at guard and right tackle while developing into a left tackle in the NFL. He has already shown the ability to get to the second level and move linebackers.
—Level-of-competition questions will come up, but Howard handled himself very well at the Senior Bowl and against Auburn.
—Excellent mover who shows natural athleticism when asked to slide, mirror or pull in both run and pass blocking situations.
