Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, citing a scouting contact associated with the Bills, says that the team loves Howard as a player.
Take that how you will, but there really are a bunch of aspects to Howard’s game that teams would love. First and foremost,
Howards has the size that teams covet at that position (6’6”, 251 lbs), and he has speed that will make them drool (4.51 40-yard dash).
He played four years for Nick Saban at Alabama, and with their run-heavy offense, teams can be assured Howard can hold his own when blocking in the trenches.
