I watched his game against the Clemson Tigers. He almost pulled off an upset win of Clemson, and he played just as good as Trevor Lawrence, in my opinion.
The only reason UNC lost was because their head coach , Mack Wilson of Texas fame, called a stupid play to try to go for two with less than a minute to go in the fourth instead of trusting his offense and defense, who played excellent ball.
Howell's got an advanced feel for the pocket, which is amazing, especially since he's a true freshman. I haven't seen him throw long yet (probably because he's a true freshman and because UNC has an excellent running back in Javonte Williams - and also because I caught the NC/Clemson game late), but he reminds me of Russell Wilson with his escapability, maneuvering in the pocket, and when he takes off and runs, he's surprisingly more athletic than you'd expect. Although he isn't tall, he's bigger than you'd expect at 6'1", 225 lbs. He can throw darts, even under duress. He's also extremely clutch; he turns it on another gear in the fourth quarter.
Mark my words: Sam Howell is already a fantastic college quarterback, and in my opinion, will be good enough to start in the NFL.
