The Seattle Seahawks' defensive scheme is built around a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front, emphasizing disruption at the line of scrimmage with quick, athletic linemen.
Howard projects as an immediate rotational 3-technique tackle with the potential to develop into a starting interior pass rusher.
Howard's value diminishes significantly in a two-gap 3-4 scheme where his primary responsibility would be to occupy blockers rather than penetrate.
Howard's explosive first step and athleticism are well-suited for a penetrating role in a one-gap system like Seattle's.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
