UNC QB Sam Howell declares for 2022 NFL Draft

University of North Carolina quarterback Sam Howell is officially in for the 2022 NFL Draft. He announced his decision on Twitter on Saturday.

Howell is generally considered a first-round prospect, although that’s far from a sure thing. The 2022 class of quarterbacks will be an interesting group to monitor over the next few months, as there’s no clear QB1 as of now.

The 2022 Senior Bowl will go a long way in deciding who that top quarterback is. Kenny Pickett (Pitt), Malik Willis (Liberty), and Desmond Ridder (Cincinnati) will all participate, with each having a solid argument to be that guy.  If any of them stand out in Mobile, it’ll make Howell’s chances of being the first quarterback selected much worse.
