Feeney thrilled with Howard's success

Indiana guard Dan Feeney, a potential first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, wasn't surprised with the success that former Hoosiers teammate Jordan Howard had as a Bears rookie.

"Not at all," Feeney said last week while playing for the North team coached by the Bears in the Senior Bowl. "Honestly, he's a great dude and a great football player, and I'm glad that he broke that rookie rushing record. I knew he could and I'm really happy for him."

A fifth-round draft pick in 2016, Howard didn't start until Week 4 when running backs Jeremy Langford and Ka'Deem Carey were both injured.
