UNC’s big-bodied red-zone threat with reliable hands
In his North Carolina career, Bug Howard was a classic mismatch piece: a 6-foot-5 receiver who improved every season, finished with 18 touchdown catches, and dropped only four passes over four years. His best season came in 2016, when he posted 53 receptions for 827 yards and 8 touchdowns, showing real growth as a target who could win vertically and in traffic. If a team wants size, catch-point toughness, and a proven red-zone finisher, Howard fits; if it wants pure burner speed, that was never his calling card.
