Panthers have one of the worst drop rates as receiving unit.

This another area of the team Howard can help improve immediately. 

Hands: 10"

Watch as former Alabama tight end O.J. Howard shows off his grip strength by flipping and catching weights ranging from 25 pounds to 55 pounds with one hand.

STRENGTHS

 Exceptionally gifted athlete. Has long arms and massive hands for his position. Tremendous acceleration into his routes. Has tools to torment defenses on second and third level. Play speed resembles a wide receiver's when the ball is in the air. Linebackers have no shot against him in space. Can turn a short throw into a long gain. Light on his feet and smooth out of his breaks. Easy separator who creates instant throwing windows when he hits the gas. Natural pass catcher who plucks it away from his body. Can adjust to poorly thrown balls and secure contested catches. Shows no lack of toughness over the middle. Can be lined up all over the field. Monster championship game in 2015 season revealed true potential. Has elite ceiling as playmaker. Lands his hands inside the frame as a blocker. Operates with wide base and attempts to snap hips into his block.

I have no idea why some people here don't see this guy as an elite talent that will instantly enhance the offense as a whole. He can block, catch, get RAC and I can guarantee you he will be open often in the red zone , and if he ain't Cam can still throw it up to him! 

Hell my only concern with picking him @ #8 has nothing to do with him, and everything to do with Shula utilizing him properly.

Some people have been knocking his blocking, but really if we get a true blocking FB and at least 1 better tackle it won't matter that much.
