OJ Howard is the biggest mystery since CNS has been here. I'm not sure we've had a guy that talented produce so little. I'm hoping OJ plays a big role in the offense this year and starts producing up to his talent level..

Howard is a mystery... Watching the films... I used to wonder why He didnt really make serious efforts catching the ball.. I think thats why OJ hasn't really earned trust from the coaches and players at time... I think OJ has woke up and he worked hard this summer to get better... so I expect him to get few catches his way and he'll be the threat he should be.

To me the biggest mystery of OJ is why he appears to either drop or not compete for contested catches.

Yep. If he used his size and frame correctly he should be able to high point and catch any 50/50 ball by "boxing out" the defender..

No way a 5"11 defensive back should get to that ball over Howard. Not only does OJ need to learn to utilize his height he also needs to learn how to shield off defenders with his body..
