West Practice Notes:

The cornerback group on the West squad has been interesting to watch through two days. With a lot of talent, it's not easy for any one guy to stand out, but Ohio State cornerback Travis Howard has been better than expected. While his game tape is inconsistent, he has looked much more athletic and fluid this week -- with good length and leaping ability to make plays on the ball. The Big Ten has a good competition going at cornerback between Howard, Terry Hawthorne (Illinois) and Micah Hyde (Iowa).

Former Ohio State football players Travis Howard, Nathan Williams hoping to shine in Shrine Game
By Dan Hope

Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013

Two former Buckeyes, cornerback Travis Howard and defensive end Nathan Williams, will have that opportunity at the East-West Shrine Game Saturday.

Howard and Williams are among a select group of college football players projected as potential NFL draft selections who were invited to St. Petersburg, Fla., to make an impression on NFL scouts, coaches and executives. The players practiced in front of NFL personnel Monday through Thursday, and the week culminates with Saturday?s game.

Howard said the opportunity has been a ?great experience overall? thus far.

?It?s just a tremendous game to be a part of,? Howard said. ?Just to go out there and just to showcase your talent ? it?s definitely a great feeling. You can definitely see where you stand out at and see if you fit in with certain guys at certain positions.?


Howard also said he believes he has made a positive impression on those in attendance this week.

?I?ve been getting a lot of great looks and making great plays on the ball and been talking to a lot of scouts,? Howard said. ?There?s been a lot of interest (from NFL teams) ? A lot of scouts said they love that I was there to compete and make plays on the ball.?

Williams and Howard both have the ultimate goal of making it to the NFL, and are considered possible late-round selections in April. NFLDraftScout.com currently projects Howard as a sixth- or seventh-round pick as the 29th-best cornerback in the draft class, while DraftCountdown.com ranks Williams as the No. 18 outside linebacker in the draft.

Howard said one of his greatest takeaways from the week has been the opportunity to work with Al Harris, who played cornerback in the NFL for 14 seasons and is the cornerbacks coach for the West squad this week.

?He did so many tremendous things as an NFL player,? Howard said. ?He told us so much stuff within these three days that we?ve been here, just little things just to elevate your game.?

Travis Howard had his moments during his time at Ohio State, but anybody who starts for an undefeated team, is almost NFL combine-worthy to begin with.

Ohio State players finish Pro Day
Thirteen players from Ohio State's undefeated 2012 season worked out for NFL scouts this morning at OSU's Pro Day, and some Buckeyes appeared to have helped themselves.

There are no "official" statistics kept as each team records its own times.

Travis Howard wasn't invited to Indianapolis, so he had much at stake. He was disappointed with his 4.50 time in the 40, saying that he'd run in the 4.4s in his workotus. But the cornerback said he was pleased with how he performed in other drills.

"I feel good, but I feel there's a lot of room for improvement," Howard said.
