Depth WR with special-teams roots and Texas prep pedigree
Connor Howard is best viewed as a developmental receiver whose value comes from versatility and reliability rather than headline stats; North Texas listed him at 5-11, 193 as a freshman, and his early college role included four appearances with work on special teams and a 19-yard kickoff return, which hints at toughness and willingness to do the dirty work. He’s the kind of player a staff may like if it wants a coachable, depth-friendly piece who can contribute in multiple phases, though the available public data does not show a major receiving breakout yet.
