Posted May 29, 2020
Sam Howell owned an elite 90.1 PFF passing grade, which ranked seventh in the country. Considering Howell did this as an true freshman, the performance is flat-out remarkable. Not only did Howell finish as one of the 10 most valuable quarterbacks in college football, he had the second-most-valuable season by a Power-5 true freshman quarterback. (Pro Football Focus)
