Jordan Howard
Once upon a time, Jordan Howard was a back-to-back 1,000-yard guy for the Chicago Bears. Entering 20202? He’s just another face in the crowd after serving as a backup in Philadelphia, producing a career-low 525 yards on the ground.
That may be an oversimplification, but running backs in the NFL fade quickly and very rarely do they get back on track. Rather, they often revert to serving as a backup and then quietly fade away.
Whether or not that’s what the future holds for Howard remains to be seen, but if he doesn’t draw starting interest on the open market, he should become an immediate option for the Giants.
Although Howard isn’t the explosive all-around back the team may covet, he’s still a grinder capable of gaining the tough yards and plunging the ball into the endzone from a yard or two out.
