Howard Sampson's Big Opportunity

Posted Jul 9, 2024
Being around skyscraping height was nothing new for Howard Sampson, especially on his dad's side of the family. His grandmother is 5-foot-11, his late father was 6-foot-7 and he has an uncle who is 7-foot. His mom is 5-foot-11, and his sister is 5-foot-8. Because of his height, some saw Sampson as an anomaly. But on the football field, it's an asset. (Inside Carolina)
