O.J. Howard isn’t going to appear anywhere on our list of the SEC’s top 25 players this week.
That doesn’t have to come with a spoiler alert, seeing as Alabama’s junior tight end wasn’t anyone’s All-American and wasn’t on either the coaches or Associated Press All-SEC teams.
When you look at production, he didn’t deserve to be. He wasn’t one of the top three at his position in the SEC this past season, ranking behind Arkansas’ Hunter Henry, Florida’s Jake McGee and Ole Miss’ Evan Engram. Heck, you could argue that Henry’s backup, Jeremy Sprinkle, had a better season with six touchdown receptions.
