Something interesting to note: Xavein Howard is very similar to Sean Smith.
-Plus height
-good footwork
-roughly same 40 (Howard's pro day 40 isn't accurate but he's faster than he was at the combine IMO. Roughly 4.5 ish).
-same 3 cone (Howard-6.94/Smith-6.94)
-same 20 yard shuffle (Howard-4.15/Smith-4.16)
-same vertical (Howard-33 inch/Smith-34 inch)
-bench (Howard-11 reps/Smith-10 reps)
Very similar. Howard has 9 INT's and 23 passes defended in 2 years starting, so ball skills and production is definitely there.
He's an option for round 2 IMO.
