For Howell, a Queens native, his debut against Baylor was another day on the gridiron — though his wild throwing style garnered plenty of attention.
The youngest starting quarterback in college football plays in New York, but it's not his age that made him go viral — it's his wild, unorthodox throwing motion.
"I woke up to a bunch of messages, which was kind of cool," he told NBC New York."I like the attention, get known for what I’m doing for a long time."For as long as he can remember, Howell has thrown left-handed and side-armed. That goes all the way back to his days playing the game as a kid with his older brother, who is a cornerback at LIU as well.
Howell said the throwing motion is now a habit — one that has been seen in the NFL before, from the likes of Bernie Kosar, Philip Rivers and even two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes. The side-arm deliveries can deceive defenses and defy coaching.
