Summary:
Jordan Howden came in at 5-11, 206 pounds at the combine, and he can line up all over the defense, but where he plays in the NFL will be the biggest question facing him. But he was a chess piece for the Gophers, moving all over the field. He's a solid tackler in space, and an added bonus: he was listed as a 4.65 guy coming into the 2022 season and ripped off a 4.49 at the combine.
Strengths:
Only two missed tackles all of 2022
Chess piece who lines up all over the field
Will come from deep safety to make plays in run support -- consistent wrap-up tackler
Shows ability to flip hips in open field on deep post and stay in phase
Weaknesses:
Doesn't play up to the 4.49 timed speed, and the lack of burst can show up on tape when he's trying to make plays in space
Doesn't have sideline-to-sideline range in deep centerfield but does show up all over the field/wherever the ball is
Combine Results:
40-Yard Dash: 4.49 seconds
Vertical: 33.5 inches
Broad Jump: 9 feet, 11 inches

Safety was a huge need. Unlikely to find a day 1 starter in the 5th but talented depth is a plus.
Don’t know the player. Will read.

I think the Saints got about everyone they wanted. Looks like a good one. We will see.

Hopefully this guy and Smoke Monday give us a little depth.

Former walk on from notable defensive secondary powerhouse Minnesota
Also a pretty low RAS of 7.20

Thanks so much for googling his name and reading his reviews and then posting your expert analysis on here. Sorry that was a dick thing to say but you set me up lol

Scouting reports say his weakness is twitch and speed. But then he runs fast and shows great explosion at the combine

Has to be something that took him off teams boards.

Draft pundits and NFL front offices view players very differently.
