The Washington Commanders have handed the reins to second-year quarterback Sam Howell for the 2023 season, and he's starting to gain the confidence of his teammates.
Star wide receiver Terry McLaurin, who has played with 10 different quarterbacks since Washington drafted him in 2019, said he sees something in Howell that could allow the 22-year-old to succeed in his first season as the full-time starter.
"I think Sam has a real quiet confidence about him," McLaurin told the team's official site. "He's not gonna tell people what to do, but he knows what he's doing when he gets out on the field.
