Set to play in Senior Bowl
Howard will partake in the 2025 Reese's Senior Bowl, per NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Howard is fresh off of a national title with the Buckeyes, claiming the Offensive MVP of the National Championship Game after throwing for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 17-for-21 passing, adding 16 rushes for another 57 yards on the ground. Howard's four-game run during the College Football Playoff (75.2 completion percentage on 109 pass attempts for 1,150 yards and an 8:2 TD:INT ratio) may have opened some scouts' eyes, and he'll have a couple more chances during the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine to boost his draft stock further. After three seasons at Kansas State, Howard transferred to Ohio State prior to 2024 and posted his best season to date, completing 73.0 percent of his 423 pass attempts for 4,010 yards and 35 touchdown passes over 16 contests. He also boasts some ability on the ground, adding 105 carries for 226 yards and seven rushing scores. While Howard isn't viewed as a first-round pick by most, he could land himself a selection at some point on Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Disappointing on deeper throws
Howard's draft stock could be falling after he struggled on deeper throws Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine, according to Chad Reuter of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Howard showed nice accuracy on shorter passes, but his performance fell off on deeper throws. He was off target on dig routes, had to sacrifices power for accuracy on comeback throws and struggled to find the right balance of loft and power on go routes. Howard's strong play helped Ohio State win a National Championship in 2024, but that success may have come more due to the collection of talent around him rather than Howard's own skill set. He's fighting an uphill battle to convince NFL scouts that he has the tools to be a starter at the NFL level.
