Sam Howell reflects on Korean heritage in wake of his grandmother's death last season

Posted May 1, 2023
Last August, Han Howell was in Seoul, South Korea, up at an ungodly hour to watch her favorite football player in action. "For the preseason games, she was in Korea visiting, which was the last time she was over there," Sam Howell said. "Obviously the time change is big, and she would tell me she would stay up all through the night to watch me play." (Washington Commanders)
