Desmond Howard is a retired American football player who earned a net worth of $14 million as a wide receiver, punt returner, and kickoff returner. He was voted the most valuable player of Super Bowl XXXI and ranked 9th Greatest Return Specialist in NFL History.
Howard earned All-American and All-state honors as a tailback in high school and led the Big Ten Conference in college, winning a string of awards. He graduated with a degree in communications in 1992 and is now in the College Football Hall of Fame.
After being picked up by the Washington Redskins in the 1992 NFL Draft, Howard joined the Jacksonville Jaguars for a season, producing lukewarm results, before moving to the Green Bay Packers in 1996. His outstanding performance during this time produced recording-breaking results, surpassing old records set by Fulton Walker in 1985, and led the Packers to the Super Bowl XXXI, where Howard won the Super Bowl MVP award, becoming the first and only player to receive such a prestigious award on special teams.
Howard then played for the Oakland Raiders for one season and returned to the Packers in 1999, before joining the Detroit Lions until his retirement in 2002. Nowadays, Howard is a college football analyst for ESPN and also a commentator for Detroit Lions Television Network.
