Bug Howard attempting to make the transition from wide receiver to tight end in Denver.

Posted Jun 26, 2019
Bug Howard, comes to Denver via the AAF where he was able to gain valuable reps at a new position. Howard played wide receiver at UNC, but his scouting profile fits well for a position switch as he was a big receiver at 6’5” 220 pounds, but lacked top-end speed to win consistently outside. Howard is up to 240 now and getting comfortable in his new role. (Mile High Report)
