02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Texans ran a gap/duo power run game, incorporating some zone concepts with a focus on interior run blocking and pass protection.

Left tackleRight tackleSwing tackle
Best role

Howard projects as a starting right tackle who can contribute in both run and pass blocking, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable left tackle.

Wrong fit

He would not reach his full potential in a pure Air Raid system due to its emphasis on quick-set pass protection and spread concepts rather than power blocking.

Howard's size and athleticism make him a fit for a variety of schemes, but his power and length are best utilized in a scheme that values strong edge blocking in both phases of the game.

04The evaluation

Selected #23 overall in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft by Houston Texans out of Alabama State.
