"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

Screw you Ray Watts, for depriving us of seeing this man continue to play in green and gold.

I always thought Howard was similar to Arian Foster. Maybe I should be an NFL scout.

Maybe Garrick McGee should be too, then.

Yep- A pox upon punkin' head for all the pain and suffering this man wrought on the team, the coaches, and the fans. Ironic that despite his efforts, the blazer family has been galvanized into one with a unity of purpose, energy, and effort.
Go Blazers!

As the old saying goes, "Some have greatness thrust upon them". Can one take credit when one is forced to do the right thing? Like removing ones feet from a self inflicted cow pie?

Which, in his memoirs, will be remembered as his ingenious plan from the beginning.

It is again my opionion when I say this. Mr. Howard can bounce back from a inury which is very important in Football. Some players take a injury and move to a different position on the field so they will not get hurt again with that being said. Very impressive no way would of amagined (yea thats what I meant to say amagined) that he would of ran they way he did in the 10. Nobody could stop him without pulling some well to be nice to say/ hits they did not want to take, again if State Ohio would not of pulled the punches they too would not of been able to stop him if he gets signed and protected from the punches he has 3 to 4 maybe 5 years of powerfull football/ not too sure the powers that be will let him play, if they do he is a great one for a few years. Would say he could be like Emitt Smith pure good and fun to watch./. Hope they let him play.

Jordan Howard is the #4 rb off the board. #3 is the kid from La Tech... according to ESPN.

Pick #150 and second RB selected by the Bears. We wish him the best.

Ganus signs free agent deal with Vikings.

Jontavius & Milligan also with free agent deals.

Just saw a billboard on 65N with Jordan Howard and the caption Dreams do come true.
