On December 27, 2015, Howard declared for the 2016 NFL draft, foregoing his senior season. [16] Howard was graded a 6.1 on NFL.com and had the third-highest running back rating with only Derrick Henry at 6.15, and Ezekiel Elliott at 7.09 having higher ratings than him. He was one of 24 running backs invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Howard attended the combine, but opted to only perform the bench press, vertical jump, and broad jump. On May 1, 2016, he participated at Indiana's pro day, along with Nate Sudfeld, Jason Spriggs, Darius Latham, and seven other then prospects. [17] Howard performed all of the running drills that he opted out of at the combine and also performed positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Howard was projected to be a second or third round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. Howard was ranked as the third best running back in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com, the fourth best running back by Sports Illustrated , and was ranked the sixth best running back in the draft by NFL analyst Mike Mayock.

Chicago Bears

2016 season

The Chicago Bears selected Howard in the fifth round (150th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. He was the tenth running back taken in the draft. [22] On May 9, 2016, the Bears signed him to a four-year, $2.58 million contract with a signing bonus of $248,022. [23] [24]

Following the departure of veteran running back, Matt Forte, Howard competed with Jeremy Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers, and Ka'Deem Carey for the Bears' starting running back position.

[26] The Bears named Howard as their third running back on their depth chart behind veterans Langford and Carey prior to the start of the regular season. [27]

Howard made his professional regular season debut in the Bears' second game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles after Carey suffered a hamstring injury.

[30] [31] The next game, Howard rushed the ball 16 times for 118 rushing yards and caught three passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. His first career touchdown reception came on a 21-yard pass from Brian Hoyer. [32]

[38] On December 24, he had his sixth game of the season with over 100 rushing yards: 18 carries for 119 yards in a 41–21 Week 16 loss to the Washington Redskins.

[46] [47] [48] After gaining 53 yards against the Green Bay Packers and 76 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Bears losses, he was asked to carry the ball an NFL-season-high 36 times in Week 6 to support rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky in his second game, which he converted into a career-high 167 yards in the victory over the Baltimore Ravens. [49] [50] [51] It was the most rushing yards by a Chicago Bear since Matt Forte's 205 in Week 4 of 2011.
