The Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars are all scheduled to meet with Alabama TE O.J. Howard. He had previously talked to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans.

Footballguys View: This is arguably the best TE class in NFL history, and Howard is widely regarded as the best of that incredible bunch. Howard is big, fast and physical…making him a mismatch every time he steps onto the field. He should be the first TE off the board, and there’s a chance he could be a top-10 pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
