PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Will Howard possesses an intriguing blend of arm talent, size, and athleticism that makes him a developmental quarterback prospect. His strong arm, ability to push the ball downfield, and dual-threat capabilities make him a fit for a vertical passing offense or an RPO/play-action-heavy system. While he has NFL tools, his inconsistent accuracy, mechanics, and struggles with post-snap reads limit his ceiling. He projects as a Day 2/early Day 3 pick who could develop into a low-end starter or high-end backup with the right coaching.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
