Born in Kenner, Louisiana, Howard played football as early as high school. He played for the prestigious Louisiana High School football team of John Curtis Christian High School. His outstanding performance in his high school football team landed him a spot in the University of Michigan.

During his year in Michigan, Howard played for the college’s football team the Michigan Wolverines and took the position of running back. One of the highlights in his playing career in college included winning the 1997 National Championship. In his final year playing college football he and his team won the 1997 NCAA Division I-A football.

In 1998 he was also awarded the Hula Bowl MVP award. Upon finishing his time in Michigan, he had a total of 1,876 yards rushing on 418 carries and 429 yards more for receiving on 60 receptions.

With his winning performance in college, Howard entered the National Football League right after graduation. In 1998, he was drafted in the NFL on the fifth round by the Denver Broncos. His new contract with the Broncos became the start of his professional career and also his net worth.

Despite his consistent performance in college, Howard had a hard time proving himself in the professional league. During his pre-season practice with the Denver Broncos, he encountered multiple fumbling problems that became a concern among the leadership of the Broncos. Later on, the team decided to let him go even before playing an actual game.

Upon his release from the Broncos, Howard fortunately was able to find a new team with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Although he still experienced fumbling issues, the team chose to stick with him and worked with him from scratch. During training, he was able to improve and got on to play for the team when the season started.

Howard later on was able to play with the team but only played for three seasons, officially leaving his professional career in 2000. Despite retiring early, his few years in the NFL still helped with his career and overall wealth.

In terms of his personal life, Howard was married to actress Gabrielle Union. The two met at a party in 1999 and tied the knot in 2001. Unfortunately, the two filed for a divorce in 2006.
