Sam Howell declared for the 2022 NFL draft, the North Carolina quarterback announced in a video on Saturday.
“I’ve been trying to think of the right words to say, the way to best capture the gratitude I have to God, to my family, my teammates, my coaches and Carolina,” Howell said. “But it’s nearly impossible to condense the greatest three years of my life into a letter.”
He will forgo his final year of college eligibility, leaving as one of the best quarterbacks in program history. Howell holds UNC's records for passing yards (10,283), passing touchdowns (92), total offense (11,292 yards) and others.
