Jordan Howard excited about new role in Eagles passing offense

The Bears never explicitly said running back Jordan Howard was a poor fit in Matt Nagy’s offense, but that’s the assumed reason behind Ryan Pace trading his former fifth-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this offseason.

Howard is making himself at home in Doug Pedersen’s offense, and he likes his fit in their system — generally the same offense Nagy runs.

Jordan Howard says the way the #Eagles are using him in the passing game is exciting. Says the Bears viewed him as one dimensional and the Eagles don’t.

He took a subtle shot at his former team as he looks to prove himself more as a receiver.
