NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that former North Carolina QB Sam Howell visited with the Carolina Panthers Monday and he will visit with the Atlanta Falcons later in the week.
Fantasy Impact: Howell has generated first round buzz since his true freshman season at North Carolina where he threw for 38 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions. Howell followed up his freshman season with a stellar sophomore campaign, but in 2021 he took a large step back as a passer after losing his top four weapons on offense to the NFL. With a subpar supporting cast in 2021, Howell threw for just 24 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, but he developed an aggressive running mindset which resulted in him rushing for 1,106 yards on the season. In a quarterback class without any clear cut franchise quarterback, Howell has the physical traits and collegiate production that teams are willing to take a chance on. Carolina, Atlanta, and Indianapolis all have long term questions at the quarterback position and appear to be doing their due diligence in getting a close look at the top quarterbacks in the 2022 class.
