""The Patriots must keep adding quality pass rushers. They had 35 sacks last season, tied for 22nd in the league - and Howell is an explosive pressure generator who can close on QBs in a hurry.""
""Bendy edge rusher with standout sack totals. Burst and elusiveness are on Howell's rush menu and he pairs it with a refreshing inside spin counter.""
""Though threatening, his rush could use more cohesive sequencing and better hand work to fully unlock its potential.""
""As a run defender he's frequently knocked around at the point and struggles to consistently execute tasks asked of an NFL edge-setter.""
The Patriots struggled to generate pressure on quarterbacks last season, finishing with only 35 sacks. Speculation surrounds potential trades, including interest in Maxx Crosby. They have signed Dre'Mont Jones and may also target edge rushers in the draft. ESPN's mock draft suggests selecting Cashius Howell from Texas A&M at No. 31. Howell, an explosive pass rusher, posted 11.5 sacks last season. Comparisons to Will McDonald IV highlight his potential, though he needs to improve his run defense and hand techniques.
