O.J. Howard is blossoming into an elite tight end

Despite a crowded receiving corps, O.J. Howard has managed to stand out and solidify himself as the top tight end on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson break records, Howard has quietly developed into one of the most dangerous weapons on the team.

With Tampa’s pass-first approach, Howard’s versatility to line up out wide makes him a more valuable piece. He plays tight end more like a wide receiver; his speed creates a mismatch for any linebacker in coverage.

Take a look at this play.
