OJ Howard was never much of a blocker but the real reason is persistent injury. Foot and ankle stuff that sapped a lot of athleticism similar to Leonard Fournette. I also never thought he had the smoothness and coordination as a route-runner to match his athletic ceiling even though he was a good playmaker with the ball.
Fantastic. This needs to go viral.
Curious: why was OJ Howard a failure? Dude looked good in college.

You don’t just have to be a special athlete to play in space, you have to be a WR level route-runner too and he was never that.
