Bears 5th Round Pick #150: RB Jordan Howard

Jordan Howard Scouting Reports

From NFL.com

"Howard has the optimal size and talent needed to strap the pads on and become a productive workhorse for a team looking for one, true lead back. Howard’s vision, power and subtle shiftiness allow him to create and break tackles along the way. Staying healthy in the NFL is a legitimate concern for Howard considering his relentless running style. If he can stay healthy, Howard has the ability to become an instant factor as an NFL starter. NFL Comparison: Arian Foster Sources Tell Us:“He’s the best pure running back in this draft. I’ve coached some good ones and he’s what you look for. His injuries will knock him back a round or so, and he’s not as well-rounded as Ezekiel Elliott is, but I think this kid is the best runner in this year’s draft.” — AFC running backs coach"

From CBS Sports:

"Howard is arguably one of the five-best running backs in the 2016 class, but he missed four games in 2015 and parts of several others due to injuries. Although his medical reports will be a strong part of his pro evaluation, Howard is a Day 2 draft pick based on talent."
