Will Howard’s arm is very average. If he had any juice he would have been taken higher than the 5th or 6th round with his size and mobility after the season he just put together. I would bet that Sayin has a stronger arm overall.

All the guys that were Tom Herman holdovers that bought in under Sark and didn’t jump ship after the initial 5-7 and 8-5 seasons. So guys like Sweat, Barron, Whittington, Christian Jones etc…

Yep. And further back he spent several years as an assistant/coordinator at USC under Pete Carroll. Those teams were frequently living in the #1 slot and rarely lost big games. Coincidentally enough, the Texas game for the natty was the only big game I can remember those teams dropping. If they lost it was usually to some unassuming unranked Pac 12 opponent on the road haha. They were generally free money in OOC, ranked matchups, and major bowl games. Saban + Carroll mentorship is about as good as it gets at the college level.

Part of that is how the college game records rushing yardage. Sacks go against rushing totals. Whereas in the NFL, sacks are separated from rushing yardage. You see way more college QBs finishing with even net negative rushing yard totals.

Ant is on that Micah Parsons trajectory. Super versatile, but getting in the backfield and to the QB pays the bills at the next level. Think the scout is right here.
