Eric Mac Lain tabs Sam Howell as nation's top quarterback

Posted Jul 22, 2021
“Sam Howell is the best quarterback in the country,” Eric Mac Lain said. “He really can do everything with his arm. It’s going to be exciting to see can he take that next step, which is going to be get the ball out, check it down, don’t take sacks, throw it away if you need to. If the Tar Heels, who are so explosive, can now capitalize, look out for them." (247 Sports)
