Alabama. O.J. Howard. 23. player. 49. . Tight End

Yes, the majority of the Green Bay Packers’ problems fall on the defensive side of the ball.

But Alabama tight end O.J. Howard is the type of player who could make quarterback Aaron Rodgers even more dangerous than he already is.

Howard’s collegiate numbers might not indicate a budding superstar. But he has the traits and gifts to be a flexible and versatile piece in head coach Mike McCarthy’s offense.

And it’s scary to think what Rodgers could do with a guy like Howard in the arsenal.
