 North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell. Do you think you shocked people with your running in 2021? Even though in high school at Sun Valley, you ran for over 3,600 yards and 60 touchdowns. Yeah, I mean, I think I really shocked a lot of people. I honestly didn't know I could run the ball at that level. But it was a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun doing it. I don't think anyone thought I could have ran the ball that successfully in college. So it was a lot of fun. But it's got to help you moving to the next level that you've shown that skill because mobility, as far as quarterbacks in the NFL, is almost a necessity today, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Obviously, a lot of quarterbacks in the NFL have that mobility. And even if it's not much, it's just enough. And I think my mobility is a weapon. And I think people saw that on film this year. So I'm just glad I had the opportunity to show that. You have a lot of weapons, man. You can sling it short, long, everything in between. Have you always been a quarterback? Has it been from the start of your football career? It has ever since first grade. When I played flag football, I was playing quarterback. So I've played every year since. Why do you love the position so much? Yeah, man, I just love playing quarterback. I just love, you know, I think leadership is something that's really important to me. And just being in that leadership role and kind of getting everybody on the same page is stuff that I really enjoy. I love the preparation aspect. You got to prepare so much to have success at this level. So it's fun to go through the weekend and spend a lot of time preparing for a game and seeing how it can benefit you on Saturday. So I could answer that question all day long. But it's just a blessing to be able to play quarterback. You have a lot of skills at the position. But one of the things I've seen you take shots, have bad moments. You rarely change expressions. Nothing really. So even in good moments, you don't change expressions that much. Where does that even keel in Sam Howell come from? Yeah, man, that's just kind of how I was raised. I was always taught to never get too high, never get too low. No matter how good someone's going in your life, whether it's football related or not, it can always be taken away from you. So don't take anything for granted. For me, it's always, focus on the next play. It's not about what happened in the previous play. You can't control what happened, whether it was good or bad. You've got to focus on the next play and get your mind right for that next play. So that's kind of the mentality I play by and the mentality I live by as well. And I just try to let that mentality rub off on my teammates. Wherever you go in short order, you're going to end up being the face of the franchise. How much did coming in and doing that for Coach Brown at Carolina help to prepare you for that in the NFL? Yeah, man, I think it definitely helped. I think that's a good point that you make. I went into a program that was struggling at the time and kind of went there with Coach Brown and we kind of turned the thing around. I mean, there's had a lot of help doing it. So many great players there and we had a lot of fun doing it. So just kind of going through that experience and trying to change the culture and changing the program. Definitely, I learned so much from it. First true freshman to start a season opener ever for North Carolina at the quarterback position. How much does that prepare you if you're a day one starter in the NFL or does it even compare? Yeah, honestly, I don't know if it compares or not. I guess we'll see if I get that opportunity. But I think just going through that whole experience my freshman year definitely helped me grow into who I am today and who I am as a player as well. What is the team that Sam Howe goes to getting in you as the player? Yeah, they're getting a tremendous leader. They're getting a guy who can rally a group of guys better than anyone else. They're getting a guy that has no limitations athletically. I can make everything on the field. I can be an asset in the running game and I have no limitations mentally either. I can take a system as far as any offense coordinator wants to take it. They're just getting somebody who plays with a fearless mentality and a fearless mindset. I really think that's contagious to the rest of the team. What do people not know about Sam Howe the most as a football player and as a person? I think just my faith and how important my faith is to me. That's a really important aspect of who I am. And I try to tie that in every single part of my life. And that's probably the most important thing about me.
