2017 NFL Mock Draft: Mitch Trubisky Falls Out of Round 1

10. player. 16. Alabama tight end O.J. Howard is one of the best prospects in this draft but doesn’t get the credit for it. He’s 6’6″, 250 pounds and expects to run in the 4.5s in the 40 and have a 40-inch vertical leap. Howard is an absolute freak athlete and catches everything that comes his way. <p>He had a true freshman quarterback this year so he wasn’t able to put up the numbers he wanted. But he is impressing all the scouts at Senior Bowl Week with circus catches and one-handed catches. And that’s not all there is to him as he is the best run blocker in college football.</p> <p>All of you that are impressed with Rob Gronkowski will be at least as impressed with Howard. The Buffalo Bills, who fall victim to Gronkowski twice a year, could use such a player. The the Bills’ passing game is explosive with speedy Sammy Watkins catching passes from Tyrod Taylor.</p> <p>They also have a solid running game with LeSean McCoy but they have problems on 3rd-and-5. Howard is the type of matchup nightmare that would solve those problems and move the chains. And if the Bills can improve their defense, they just might compete with the Patriots. </p>. TE. Alabama. O.J. Howard
