A 2022 fifth-round pick by the Commanders, Howell made his first career NFL start against the Cowboys during the regular season finale of his rookie campaign. That next season, the North Carolina ended up being a full-time starter for Washington.

While the team showed some flashes between the veteran play of Jadeveon Clowney and the quick development of rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku, the lack of a consistent squeeze on opposing quarterbacks became a glaring issue by season's end. Without a formidable pass rush, opposing quarterbacks attacked an already vulnerable secondary whose coverage clock dwindled faster than a McGruber explosive device after he cuts the wrong wire.
