Howard, the 1991 Heisman winner, said his symptoms are some soreness in the muscles, a nagging cough. He said, “Thank God I haven’t had a fever. I have been drinking a lot of fluids … and getting some rest.
“Other than that I feel okay, I keep fighting … outside of those symptoms, you know, I feel good but you have to take this very seriously. It is an extremely unpredictable and tricky virus. A very tricky virus. You have to do all the things you can to maintain your health even if you feel good.”
Howard was voted the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXXI, and he is the first and currently, the only special teams player to win the award.
