PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Cashius Howell is an ascending edge defender whose combination of length, power, and first-step explosiveness translates cleanly to the next level. At 6’4”, 245 pounds, he’s built to thrive in a multiple-front or hybrid 3–4 scheme, offering immediate value as a stand-up rusher or hand-in-the-dirt end. His advanced hand usage and rush sequencing—particularly his speed-to-power conversion and inside counter—allow him to win with both finesse and physicality. Howell’s relentless motor and pursuit range make him disruptive beyond the stat sheet, while his technical maturity and competitive demeanor point to an early starter trajectory. Continued refinement of counter-timing and edge discipline will push him toward his ceiling as a top-tier NFL pass rusher with double-digit sack potential.
