Bug Howard, not Pharoh Cooper, gets 2016 NFL Draft stock off to good start
Posted Sep 6, 2015
Instead, early on it was North Carolina wideout Johnathan "Bug" Howard who provided the buzz, setting a new career-high in receiving yards by halftime and finishing with six receptions for a game-high 114 yards and a touchdown in a losing effort. Entering the game, scouts knew that at 6-foot-5, 210 pounds, Howard has the size and strength to post up cornerbacks.
