Can Will Howard be a NFL starter? I think that is a possibility, with proper development. Is a team going to draft him with the idea that he's starting his 1st year, or even 2nd year? IMO, that is highly unlikely. I think it's important to note that his draft position may be inflated a bit due to this QB class being underwhelming.
A big question is going to be how Will Howard performs outside of the OSU system. The talent that OSU has at WR is better than some NFL teams right now. Will seemed to thrive against man defense, but struggled mightily against Michigan (who has a DC who was most recently a DC in the NFL). He also struggled against PSU - these were the 2 best defenses that he faced in 2024.
Personally, I don't see him as a guy who will make an impact at the NFL level. But I will freely acknowledge that he could become an impact guy in the right situation, with the right development.
