Commanders Rookie QB Sam Howell Says There's No 'Major Step' From College to NFL

Posted Aug 8, 2022
Sam Howell, the fifth-round rookie quarterback from UNC, says he doesn't feel like there's much of a change from college to the NFL. "I wouldn't say there's a major step. Obviously, we haven't started games and game prep yet. I'm sure the preparation is a probably bit more in the NFL. But practice wise, I think just preparing for practice a little more."
