My Take
Sam Howell intrigues me because his story is far from settled. Out of tiny Waynesville, North Carolina, he rewrote the Tar Heels record book, throwing 38 touchdowns in a single season and topping 10,000 career passing yards, numbers that screamed franchise quarterback. The NFL, of course, humbles everyone, and his path has been bumpier than the hype suggested, with a fresh chance now in Dallas. That second-act arc, the once-anointed prospect grinding to prove himself for real, is exactly what I find worth watching. The arm talent is unquestioned; patience is the rest. I'm rooting for him.
