With the return of of O.J. Howard to the already viscously potent Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, one might assume that Howard will see a diminished role for Tom Brady as Rob Gronkowski now has a season under his belt after his one-year retirement, while Howard is just returning to running after he ruptured his Achilles four games into last season.
However, all evidence points to Howard having a career year that could propel him to a spot within the top 5 tight ends in the league.
