Tampa Bay Buccaneers: TE O.J. Howard immensely underused

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans didn’t see the production out of TE O.J. Howard that they had hoped for, but there’s potential for Howard to become one of the league’s best tight ends.

As Howard stepped into his third season in the NFL, there were huge expectations that the talented tight end could take the next step towards becoming an elite option for the Buccaneers offensively.

Unfortunately, he had just 34 receptions for 459 yards and one touchdown during the season and was even reprimanded by Bruce Arians for his lackluster play during the season.
