Xavien Howard is an American football cornerback for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League. He played college football at Baylor and was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dolphins.
How many yards did Xavien Howard allow?
The passer rating against Howard when targeted is 98.2, more than double the 48.3 of 2020, according to pro-football-reference.com. The 98.2 ranks 156th among all NFL players who have been targeted at least 15 times.
But let’s not forget that, along with the two interceptions he has in 2021, Howard has two forced fumbles/fumble recoveries and those two were the biggest plays in two of the Dolphins’ three victories — against the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens.
Xavien Howard doesn’t need anyone to tell him his 2021 performance hasn’t been up to par with what he did in 2020, though in fairness nobody should have expected an exact repeat performance.
