02Scheme fit
Ideal system

A versatile linebacker who thrives in a read-and-react 4-3 defense, excelling at tracking ball carriers and dropping into zone coverage effectively.

Weakside LBWill LBDimebacker
Best role

Year 1 depth and special teams ace, with the potential to develop into a starting weakside linebacker capable of playing all three downs.

Wrong fit

A true 3-4 two-gap scheme where he'd be asked to consistently take on and shed offensive linemen at the point of attack.

Howard projects best into a system that values athleticism and coverage ability over raw power against the run, making him a good fit for modern NFL defenses.
