Howard’s bounce-back backfield weapon still has juice
In the 2026 season, Eden James has been a limited early contributor after an injury-shortened 2025, but his résumé still pops: he rushed for 1,449 yards and 7 TDs across 2022-24, added 36 career catches, and earned Phil Steele’s preseason MEAC Player of the Year nod. The 5-foot-9, 195-pound back is a compact, dual-threat runner with proven burst and receiving value; the question is health, not talent. If you want a seasoned playmaker who can create mismatches and handle volume when right, he’s worth the look.
