Quarterback Sam Howell at North CarolinaWhat the Commanders are getting with quarterback Sam HowellThe Athletic NFL@TheAthleticNFLThe Commanders are getting a guy that apparently only eats chicken off the field, but what are they getting on the field?A player “obsessed” with studying footballA tough QBA player who's "just Mr. Perfect"@NicoleAuerbach on the rook theathletic.com/3252876/2022/0…789The Commanders are getting a guy that apparently only eats chicken off the field, but what are they getting on the field?◻️A player “obsessed” with studying football◻️A tough QB◻️A player who's "just Mr. Perfect"@NicoleAuerbach on the rook ⤵️ theathletic.com/3252876/2022/0…The Washington Commanders’ new quarterback does bring something to the table other than chicken tenders. The 6 foot 1 inch three-year starter from North Carolina has pocket poise and enough mobility to grow into a full-field read quarterback in the future.Whether the Commanders have a program or system in place for that will be the question of whether Howell eventually becomes a competent NFL starter.Howell brings positives such as his confidence as a leader, arm power and his ability to climb in the pocket to extend plays. He is also a threat on the ground, particularly in the red zone.Conversely, his slow release and average accuracy might hold him back from being a starter in the NFL. With the right coaching and development, the chicken-lover might surprise NFL fans in a few years.The Commanders have Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke ahead of the rookie on the depth chart, so he has some time to develop. But in the NFL you are always only an injury or a bad performance away from getting your shot and if he can take any chance that comes to him, he could become a regular feature for the Commanders.
