Football at Four: Jordan Howard’s Role in the Eagles Offense
There has been a perception that new Eagles running back Jordan Howard is not the best pass catcher out of the backfield, but things seem to be changing and he is working towards being more capable in the pass game.
"I think he's done a good job in catching the ball on the screens and running back check-throughs and check-downs and those kinds of things," said Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh. "It looks like he has worked really hard at it, and he's catching the ball well."
Howard struggled with drops over the first two years of his career, and has caught just 72 passes during his first three seasons in Chicago for 568 yards and just one score.
Tuesday on Football at Four, Mike Gill and John McMullen, discussed Jordan Howard's role in the Eagles offense and more from OTA's.
