Jordan Howard - Miami Dolphins

Personally I was hoping he would come back next year.  I think the injuries mean his draft stock is going to be  much lower.

Best of luck. It's fun having more former Hoosiers in the NFL.

Not surprised. I don't think anyone really is. All the best to JH.

Good luck to Howard in the NFL

Thanks Jordan! Didnt have to come here after his original program got shut down. Played hard when he could. Good luck in the league and Put in a good word with Jim Irsay!

Was hoping there was some chance he would be back, but I'm not too surprised. He did really well in the games he played, best of luck to him in his pro career.

Best of luck Howard, wish you nothing but the best. This will look good to potential RB's going forward. Redding already proving how good he can be, and can't wait to see him next year. Anyway, thanks JH for a great year.

No one should be surprised. I think he will be a good back in the NFL.

Do you think when he's drafted they'll say from Indiana University or UAB?

Running back U. Go get em Jordan and thanks for a great year. He was so incredibly fun to watch. Devines turn to carry the torch!

Good luck, Jordan. Loved watching you punish those "would be" tacklers.

Thanks for nothing three different sports apps on my phone who didn't report this to me.

 

Never mind, CBS sports sent one as soon as I wrote that. As if they were watching...

 

Anyway, I made my case in the last thread about this. If he doesn't think he can make it to a first or second round draft pick, then an extra year won't help him too much. Mixed year for RBs. A lot of teams have needs, but I think they also discovered you only use a good pick on an elite RB. Niners have been playing guys taken from other team's practice squads for most of the year and still manage to have a decent rush offense (well, better than could be expected given all of the other flaws). RBs just aren't worth the draft capital most of the time.

 

Hope he proves me wrong though. Look forward to seeing him take the field one Sunday.

Just another reason to stay connected here, and to hell with everything else!  :)

Congrats to Howard for sure. Very talented player. Good recruiting coup for Coach. Interested to see where he goes. Has the feel of a third or fourth round pick to me.

Also had a little bit of a Vonleh feel to me. Not sure how I feel about that. Coach Wilson used him better than Crean did Vonleh so it makes it more appealing.

Anyway, best of luck, glad you were a Hoosier! Stay/Get healthy!

I have the utmost faith in Redding, but there were moments during Howard's absence throughout the season where the team could have used a power back for third and one-type situations.  Maybe CKW sees Wilson and Rodriguez filling that role in the future? (In my mind, Majette is in the APB/Redding mold.)

 

Congrats to J How, it truly was a pleasure watching you stomp a mudhole in Michigan's rush defense.

Congrats on an awesome college career, Jordan! Jordan's performance against Michigan was one of the greatest games I've seen by a RB (offensive line did ok too!). Heck, the toughness he showed trying to play on a severely sprained ankle against OSU earned my respect for his toughness.

Jordan is a big guy with outstanding balance and never goes down on first contact. There is a spot for him in the NFL. If he is able to run in the mid-4.4s early-4.5s like he did this spring, he will hear his name on the second day of the draft.
