The Ohio State football program will have their Pro Day in a few weeks. That is when all of the draft-eligible Buckeyes will be working out in front of scouts from all across the league. It will be a great chance for those players to increase their draft stock right before the NFL Draft.
One of the players who is hoping to increase his stock is Will Howard. Howard didn't have the best Combine, so he is hoping to shake off that performance and show scouts that he can do better. Throwing in a familiar building should help him complete some more passes.
Instead of bringing in some former Buckeyes, Howard will be throwing to some familiar faces. Besides Emeka Egbuka, who is also trying to better his stock, Howard will be throwing passes to Carnell Tate and Brandon Inniss. Both of those guys have at least one year left of college before they can declare.

Tate and Inniss will be able to show scouts what they can do early on in the process. That should get them on the radar of some teams a year before either of them is able to be drafted. Both receivers are going to get more opportunities to catch passes this season with Egbuka gone.
Scouts were hoping to see Jeremiah Smith out there, but he will not be. He still has two more years to play before he can be taken in the NFL Draft. He will likely be a top-five pick when he does come out if his freshman year is any indication of what he can do.
This moment will be better for Inniss than Tate. Tate has already been a significant part of the offense. Inniss hasn't done as much, but he will play in the slot this season. He's going to show what he will be a factor once he catches passes for Howard during Pro Day.
