this is not really true any more. He's been pretty much boxing exclusively for 2 seasons, learning the position. He's a very solid blocker these days. Needs to come back and put it all together for a full season, then get top 10 draft money

Dude is a National Championship winning quarterback. He can get all the tail he wants. Why does it even matter?

He's 20lbs lighter than Gronk, Graham, and about 10 lighter than Greg Olsen.

I think he could do well but catching a ball in an open field isn't indicative of much. The above average "modern" tight ends are the ones that can make plays in traffic by using their size to shed smaller DBs and "box them out" when the ball is on the way, or by using their speed against linebackers.

Howard has potential, but he was stellar last night because the Clemson secondary blew a couple of coverages.

He'll get drafted based on measurables but I'm not willing to crown him the next great tight end just yet.

I doubt last night made him too much money since Clemson lined up wrong twice to get him his TDs, but with the right coaching, he could be great with his measurables. He seems like a Patriots type of pick.

just stop.

It is not funny.

I taught tons of kids who had similar acne and they have to put up with that junior high school crap all the time from insensitive idiots.

It is something a seventh grader would harp on.

He was a great TE, and he will be an even better rustler.

OJ Howard should be a WR in the NFL. He just might be the Ozzie Newsome of the Saban era.

And my opinion is that you are acting like a twelve year old.

However, you do not merit any other responses except as opportunities to post awesome Lebowski pics.

I am an elitist and I think I'm smarter than most everyone. Jay Coker would be plowing farmland in Mobile if he wasn't good at a game. Good for him, however. Overcoming the odds and all

Reminds me a lot of Vernon Davis before he sucked.

you're wrong. On the first statement. You're not very bright.
