From Backup to Starter: Sam Howell’s Determination to Make it Back into the League

Sam Howell is no longer the starting quarterback for the Commanders, but he is determined to make it back into the league. He was traded to Seattle last year where he is currently the backup to Geno Smith. Despite not being drafted in April, the Seahawks showed confidence in him by not selecting another quarterback. Howell and Smith are now the only quarterbacks on the roster.

In an interview, Howell expressed his willingness to compete for a starting spot in the future. He acknowledged Smith’s talent and respects him as a player. Howell also discussed his mistakes from last season and how he plans to improve by playing smarter and reducing turnovers. He sees his current role as a backup as an opportunity to learn and prepare for his next chance as a starter.

Howell has learned a lot from Smith’s career experience and values his contributions to the team. As a fifth-round pick in 2022, he is determined to work hard and improve his game while supporting Smith and the team in any way possible. With Smith already established as a starter, Howell knows that he will have to wait for his chance, but he is confident that with hard work and dedication, he will be able to make it back into the league one day.
