O.J. Howard

O.J. Howard praised by fellow tight end Cameron Brate

by Eric Wagner | Sun, May 7th 1:23am EDT

Brate spoke highly of rookie tight end Howard and is excited to have him on the offense. He said Howard is big enough to block and athletic enough to catch passes, which is a big deal considering many tight ends either lack in one area or just aren't particularly impressive in either one.

Fantasy Impact:

Howard was the top tight end prospect and the first one taken this past draft, so all eyes are going to be on him. It's crowded in Tampa, with Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson both coming off of 1,000-yard seasons and Brate boasting an eight-score season. He'll have to impress early to get the starting job over Brate, but he has the potential to be a star. While he's a raw route runner and isn't as aggressive as you'd like, he's big, athletic, and has great hands.
