Fun fact number one: in the past ten seasons, three rookie tight ends have had fifty or more receptions. Fun fact number two: in the past ten seasons, one rookie tight end has had over 600 yards receiving. Finally, fun fact number three: in the past ten seasons, seven rookie tight ends have had five receiving touchdowns or more. So what does that mean for O.J. Howard and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
Quite simply it means that the expectations Bucs fans are setting for Howard may be a bit too high for his debut season. Now, I am on record as saying I believe Howard will be over that five touchdown threshold.
