Over the course of his rookie NFL season, Howard compiled 40 total tackles and six pass breakups in eight games.

He was recognized as the AFC Defensive Player of the Week following the Dolphins' 27-20 win against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football in which he had three pass breakups and two interceptions off Tom Brady.

Despite missing four games during the 2018 NFL season, Howard still managed to tie for the league lead in interceptions with seven. Howard earned his first Pro Bowl nod and was second-team All-Pro. Howard recently signed a five-year $76.5 million contract extension with $46 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.
