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.

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.

“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.

Howard, too, admitted that all the uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic was ‘concerning’.

“It’s definitely been different, but I feel like we been making the best of our circumstances, just getting in as much work as we can. I definitely feel like we’re in good shape, but good shape and football shape is different.

“So, it’s gonna be a little bit of an adjustment period. I’m definitely concerned because it’s been going on for a while. I definitely didn’t think it was going to be this big or go on for this while, it seems like they can’t really get a hold of it and like a trigger and what’s causing it.
