CJ Hoffman gives Howard a big-bodied, senior power option at running back
In the 2024 season, CJ Hoffman was a 6-foot-2, 225-pound senior who gave Howard a physically imposing presence at running back after previously playing linebacker, a rare transition that hints at toughness and versatility. His biggest selling point is that blend of size, contact balance, and defensive-player grit — the kind of profile that can fit short-yardage, pass-protection, and downhill roles. He is not a flashy stat headline, but his edge and physicality make him an intriguing fit for teams that value rugged, assignment-sound backs.
