Isn't that an accurate statement about T. Howard though?!? Can recall many posters bashing him for his lack of speed and not living up to his 5-star rating; in a previous thread just a few weeks ago. Just sayin'
I've been following college football since the 1970s and I've seen my share of DBs who were stellar in college but didn't pan out in the
NFL because of limitations....whether it was because of size, speed, whatever...
It didn't stop them from being very productive college DBs.
Howard and several of his DB teammates were recruited by all the big boys, and now we hearing from these "unnamed" sources
that they can't play?
I yell BS.
Howard's problems are his and his alone. There's a reason that Corn Elder, shorter and less highly recruited, is taking up a lot of Howard's playing time. Elder tackles 100 times better than Howard, who can't seem to hit a stationary object in space when trying to tackle.
