Looking Back at the RB Class of 2016
On some plays he looks remarkably similar to Marshall Faulk. Terrific pass catcher out of the backfield, has a good burst and can make people miss in the open field. He has a great stutter move to set up blocks or allow plays to develop. Undersized back with injury history.
Does not have breakaway speed 4. Unbelievable productivity from this kid. National High School record of over 12, career rushing yards and touchdowns including a Senior season of 4, yards. Then he goes to Alabama and wins the Heisman as a Junior while rushing for over 2, yards and 28 touchdowns. He has build up speed 4. The only time he is really effective is with his shoulders square and a head of steam.
He finds holes, breaks tackles, and has the top end speed to finish plays in the endzone which he did with regularity. The problem for me is how one dimensional he is. You should be able to shut him down by plugging the A and B gaps or by getting penetration in the backfield.
He also does not add much in the passing game. His track record speaks for itself though. Grab him in the 2nd Dallas. Watching him play last fall I fell in love with this kid. He was relentless, putting the entire Utah team on his back. 2016 draft running backs Running out of the shotgun or a deep set, catching the ball out of the backfield 80 catches last two years combined he did everything for that team.
Unfortunately going back over the tape he seems like a solid back, but not one that will excel at the next level. He has good feet, balance, power, vision, and size but not great in any facet. Booker reminds me of Matt Forte, not as smooth but tougher. Transfer from UAB where he racked up 1, yards in , all Howard did to follow that up was gain 1, yards in along with Big 10 First Team honors.
Howard is a bruiser with the potential to be the 2nd best back in this class. Dak 'fine in any situation' when it comes to deal. Dallas Cowboys. Bills' Allen: Diggs trade 'hard' but thankful for WR. Buffalo Bills. Browns GM expects Watson to be ready for opener.
