LIU QB Chris Howell on his unique throwing style
So, please, scroll down. Watch the clip. Then come back. Seriously. Yes, seriously, I’ll wait.It is one of one, a Picasso in a hall of photographs. It has to be seen to be believed, then watched again to confirm you weren’t deceived. It is why this scooping, swinging, sidearmed, skee-ball throw fired by Long Island University freshman Chris Howell was viewed 4.8 million times in less than a week.
There was no hint of what would follow a pass like so many he had thrown before. Nearly four weeks ago, Howell quietly connected on a 48-yard pass at Bryant. Two days after Howell completed his 35-yard viral pass at Baylor, he enjoyed anonymity. “He didn’t feel like he needed a little ball,” his mother said. “It was like, ‘I’m not a baby. I can do what you can do.’”
“I went to see him in person and I said, ‘He can play almost anywhere in the country,’” Cooper said. “I didn’t worry about his motion. He’s very accurate. If his arm wasn’t strong, it might be a problem, but his arm is as strong as any I’ve been around — maybe one or two arms over my 30-something years that are stronger throwing the ball. He may not have gotten offers from a lot of places because of it, but this is what got him here. This got him a full scholarship.
