Will Howard’s story seriously reads like a movie script—underdog walks into a stacked Ohio State locker room, takes a gut-punch loss in Eugene, then rewrites his destiny in the Rose Bowl and climbs draft boards like he’s scaling Everest. The way he used that Oregon loss to sharpen the team’s identity shows next-level leadership.
The Josh Allen comparison? It’s bold, but not totally wild. Big frame, mobility, rocket arm, and that inner grit. What separates guys like Allen is growth after failure, and it sounds like Howard is already showing he’s wired that way. That Saints fit feels real too—sit behind Carr, absorb, then boom, maybe franchise QB.
