Former UNC football quarterback [autotag]Sam Howell[/autotag] was among the bigger surprises in the 2022 NFL draft. Once considered a Top 15 prospect, Howell fell all the way to the fifth round where the Washington Commanders selected him.
After three years at North Carolina, there were some factors into him falling to that fifth round. Mel Kiper Jr. pointed to Howell holding the ball too long and his passes being batted down after losing a lot of talent and playing behind a poor offensive line in his final year. But alas, Howell found a home and will have the chance to play behind Carson Wentz to start his career.
On Wednesday, Howell became the topic of NFL fans on Twitter when it was revealed that he only eats chicken and has never had a burger, steak or seafood in his life. It drew some reaction, as you can imagine.
However, this isn’t news to UNC fans. Howell actually admitted this back in 2020 before the Tar Heels’ Orange Bowl game against Texas A&M. Which back then, caused an uproar as well.
Judging by the reactions, it does sound like many were just finding out about this today and it created some interesting conversation on Twitter as you can see below:
