Cashius Howell’s NFL Draft Potential
At 6’2″, 249 pounds, with sub-31″ arms, Cashius Howell’s size will undoubtedly take him off some teams’ boards. But for teams who employ rush OLBs in odd and hybrid alignments, Howell has plenty of appeal as a dynamic pass-rush catalyst.
He carries the seventh-highest PFSN EDGE Impact rating this year with a score of 86.2, and has a terrific PFF pressure rate of 21.5%.
While his size gets in the way in 1-on-1 contact situations, Howell is a smart and explosive pass-rusher with a deep bag of moves and the hyper-elite agility and bend to keep tackles guessing and grasping while staying balanced.
Where Is Howell Being Selected Most Often in the PFSN Mock Draft Simulator?
Howell currently holds the No. 88 overall rank among prospects, reflecting his standing among mid-round prospects. His most recent Average Draft Position (ADP) of 84.9 as of October 13 reflects that he is typically being selected on Day 2 or early Day 3.
