After two weeks of free agency, the Lions are still looking for a long-term EDGE partner for Aidan Hutchinson. Cashius Howell is a top pass-rushing prospect who is a candidate to go within the first two rounds.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Howell:
(Ages in parentheses are at start of 2026 season and are factored into the concern level. Injury info and ages based on available public information are unverified and subject to update. Games played data courtesy of sports-reference.com.)
Cashius Howell, EDGE (age uncertain, 23?) – Texas A&M
Projected round 1. #17 on Daniel Jeremiah board Jan 27.
Concern level 2/10
Howell is clean medically except for a remote shoulder injury. He has displayed perfect reliability in his last 4 years of college. His suspected slightly older age would be a factor in the 1st round.
His college career was productive with 35.5 TFL and 27 sacks.
