O.J. Howard, tight end, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Quarterback Jameis Winston is primed for a tremendous season. Not only did the team sign wideout DeSean Jackson, but the Bucs drafted Howard at No. 19 overall.
The former Alabama product tallied 45 receptions for 595 yards and three touchdowns in his final college season. He will now playing under head coach Dirk Koetter, who worked his magic with tight ends Marcedes Lewis and Tony Gonzalez of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons from 2007-13.
Wouldn’t it be cool to see Howard eventually find that same type of sucess?
Currently, Cameron Brate is the team’s starting tight end. But at the same time, Koetter and the Bucs’ brass did not hesitate to bring Howard aboard in the first round.
Jason Licht said he could see Dirk Koetter's eyes light up when O.J. Howard emphasized the importance of consistency. https://t.co/lPEedfpGDa

It will be intriguing to see what the team’s plan is for Howard. He is certainly another sneaky playmaker who has the ability to explode in 2017.
