This isn't going to be a traditional scouting report. You all know who Sam Howell is. You watched him lead the ACC with 3,347 passing yards in the regular season. You watched him break UNC's school record and set a new freshman FBS record with 38 passing TDs. Instead, I want to highlight a couple of areas where Howell is superior to most freshman QBs and pinpoint one aspect of his game that was lacking and why. Throughout the 2019 season, 18 QBs attempted more passes than Howell. Only two of them (Joe Burrow, Anthony Gordon) threw more TD passes. Only three of them (Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Chris Robinson) threw fewer interceptions than Howell's seven.
