Howard, who intercepted Tom Brady in Super Bowl 38, said, "As a veteran of the NFL, I fully understand and appreciate the ability of professional athletes to positively influence and impact society. This event provides DeAngelo and me an opportunity to educate the community - both young and old - about the importance of finances, so that they can be successful in everything they set out to do."
