I really hope he gets drafted by a good team. He is an extremely versatile player who I think will have a long, productive career in the NFL.

not sure if he will get drafted just because of the position he plays. but he should be a damn good player in the league.

did Leron McClain get drafted?

Not sure about if he got drafted, but he spent a few years on the Ravens.

I believe he got more yards his first year with the Ravens than in his entire career at Alabama.

I know they've been somewhat interchangeable but we'll probably see less FB and more H-back (Dial, Smelly, Johnson)

Bo Scarbrough could, just to get him on the field until he can play more RB.

If Leron got stayed then I think Fowler has a good shot too. Not surprisingly the Ravens might be a destination for him also, depending on their current roster.

I think fifth round to the ravens would be a valid projection.

Could be one of the best FBs in the league if he is used. I know there aren't many options, but still.

He can do it all and he does it all at a high level. Plus dat work ethic.

Problem is finding an H-Back worth his salt in blocking. Who they decide to play at TE will say a lot, if they'll forgo an edge setter like Greene for Howard's natural athleticism.

TFS, Little Mac, Faciane(if he is out of the doghouse for good), and a darkhorse of Hale Hentges or Gussie Busch.

I kinda wish they'd use green as TE and put Howard at Hback similar to the way they did with Smelley. Or in the alternative use Greene as an Hback similar to McCall.

I just love me some Greene, not sure why. He probably doesn't have the same skill set as McCall but I'm convinced he can be a solid in line TE. I think he is a bit of a cross between McCall and BMW.

As long as OJ is on the field for every play, I don't care what they do. Feed the beast.

How Greene approaches 2015 as a TE should tell a lot. He had to go back to LT for the early goings of this year, so he really didn't focus on it. Cut a little weight(it'll come off with the extra cardio), get in the rhythm of running routes daily. He's a big body basketball player, I'm sure he knows how to box someone out.

I'd like to see both on the field and I'm sure they will share it at some point, but I think Howard will see a lot more time away from the line in 2015. Leaving a need for a FB or HB in the backfield for blocking. A complementary one compared to the impact Fowler has, but a need nonetheless.

if he is going to stay at TE he could stand to drop 20 or 25 pounds. still would be a load in blocking, but a little more fleet of foot. still, hes incredibly athletic for a guy that size. makes me wonder why he never worked out at tackle

I think we've lowered the beast bar if we are counting OJ as a beast. I think its fair to say he's a freak, but he hasn't gone beast mode on anybody yet.

That was a really nice catch against Auburn though. We now know for sure he can high point the ball. Still not beastly though.

On offense I think Nudie is our top beast, at least for skill players. I put Henry in the freak category for now too. Trent was a beast, Eddie was a beast, julio was a beast, even mark Ingram was a beast. But those guys would run through a brick wall.
