Which NFL team will get a Day 2 steal in North Carolina's record-breaking QB Sam Howell?

Posted Apr 28, 2022
Sam Howell isn’t a very emotional person. His offensive coordinator at UNC, Phil Longo, says Howell looks the same up 20 points as he does down 20. In three years together, he saw Howell pump his fist once. That’s why a sideline wink from Howell stands out so much to Longo. The Tar Heels were down 18 to ninth-ranked Wake Forest on Nov. 6 of last year. (247 Sports)
