Desmond Howard is long removed from his NFL Draft experience, but not so much he doesn’t understand what the upcoming draft means for every college football player hoping to play at the next level.
Howard, the 1991 Heisman Trophy winner from Michigan who was selected by Washington in the first round of the 1992 draft, will be part of ESPN’s NFL Draft coverage this week with the draft debut of "College GameDay." Howard is a fixture on "GameDay" along with Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso and David Pollack during the college football season.
This is a new approach for ESPN and the intent is for the "GameDay" crew to provide information on the players’ college careers and project how they will play in the NFL.
