Ohio State quarterback Will Howard doesn't stack up among the top signal-callers in this draft class. But to former head coach Jon Gruden, Howard is similar to a former first rounder and one of the current bests to play the position in the NFL.

Will Howard reached the college football mountaintop in January, leading the Ohio State Buckeyes to a national championship in the first 12-team College Football Playoff. He played extremely well down the stretch for Ryan Day and Ohio State, but he's not expected to be a significant factor in this month's 2025 NFL draft.

Executives are thinking that the Bills signed Josh Allen to an extension to show him that he is their No. 1 priority in the franchise.
