Draft Diamonds Prospect Interview: Jack Howard, CB, Lane College 

Jack Howard was a very solid cornerback over the past two seasons with Lane College.  Howard tagged up with cornerback Vernon Kearney who is currently on the Kansas City Chiefs roster to shut down teams opposing wide receivers last year.  This year teams were scared to throw the ball Howard’s way.  Howard was highly recruited coming out of school, he just lacked in grades.  Teams have been coming in and out of practice and love Howard.  He is smaller but he can play, teams could fall in love with Jack during his pro-day.
