Ex-Ohio State star Will Howard gets support from Shedeur Sanders amid harsh scouting combine criticism

Daniel Jeremiah joins Colin Cowherd to break down Shedeur Sanders’ draft stock and whether he’s being overvalued.

NFL prospect Will Howard found some support from Shedeur Sanders on Sunday after the former Ohio State quarterback struggled during his workout at the scouting combine.

Howard showed off his big arm during the drills but was criticized on social media for his inaccuracy, with some saying it was one of "worst" in combine history.

NFL Network’s draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah took a different approach. He said Howard had a "solid" combine performance despite some of his balls looking "flat." He added that Howard "looked very comfortable from under center."

Sanders, who is expected to be one of the top picks in the draft, defended Howard.

"I don’t understand y’all hating on @whoward_ he just won a natty. It’s hard to throw to WR’s that you don’t know, everyone run routes different!" the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback wrote on X.

Howard could be a Day 2 or Day 3 pick unless interest in him grows in the days leading up to the draft.

He started his collegiate career at Kansas State and transferred to Ohio State before the start of the 2024 season. He led the Buckeyes to a national championship.
