Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Sam Howell is very picky when it comes to the meat he eats.

The 21-year-old has never had a steak or burger:

Howell spoke about his diet in 2020 while playing at North Carolina, revealing he also doesn't eat seafood.

"People give me a hard time, but the only meat I eat is chicken," Howell said in an interview with Mark Armstrong of ABC11. "It's been like that my whole life. I really don't know why. I started like that when I was younger, but it's something I've kind of kept through my whole life. So yeah, chicken is the only meat I eat, so I only go to restaurants that serve something with chicken on the menu."

The Commanders selected Howell in the fifth round of last month's draft, No. 144 overall.
