Jordan Howard made his NFL debut for the Chicago Bears in 2016 against Philadelphia Eagles. The Alabama-born running back started that season as the third choice running back behind veterans, Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey.
However, he was offloaded to the Eagles after completing his two-year contract in Chicago. After a year in Philadelphia, he will represent Miami Dolphins this season.
Jordan Howard played four matches for the Eagles last season and rushed for 500+ yards. He penned a two-year $9.75 million deal with the Dolphins earlier this year.

Jordan Howard gave a short interview to the Sun-Sentinel earlier this week. He spoke about his arrival in Miami and his expectations from the Dolphins project.
“I just liked the opportunity it presented. It feels like we’re turning things around down here, I just wanted to be a part of that. I was part of a turnaround in Chicago, so I embrace those types of things.
“I really don’t have anything to prove to anybody, just to myself that I can still be that type of player. [I] just feel like I’m one of the top backs in the game, even [if] people don’t give me respect or credit or anything like that. I’m still out here trying to show what I can do.” Howard wrote as transcribed by NFL Network.
