A recent video shared by Ohio State quarterback Will Howard has social media in a chokehold, and not in a good way.

On Friday, Howard took to his Instagram account and ran an ad for a partnership, most likely NIL-related, with Dr. Pepper.

It feels like the commercial was done as a joke, but they still decided to release it to the masses.

Since becoming Ohio State’s quarterback, Will Howard has done countless advertisements, but none have been more cringeworthy than his latest promotion for Dr. Pepper.

“This video sums you up as a person perfectly,” one person said.

“What did I just watch,” another guy stated.

“Bag better have been outrageous for this to come out the drafts,” another fan said of Will Howard in the ad.

“We love a sassy queen!” a fourth fan added.

“You better have gotten paid a lot for this,” one final person stated.

Will Howard is fresh off earning National Championship Offensive Player of the Game honors after he finished the night against Notre Dame with 231 passing yards, completing 17-of-21 attempts, and threw two touchdowns.

Where Will Will Howard End Up On Draft Night?

Ohio State quarterback Will Howard’s draft stock may have received a huge boost after he led his squad through the first-ever College Football Playoff 12-team format to win the National Championship.

He is not a name that has been brought up much when it comes to the upcoming NFL Draft.

NFL Network draft guru Daniel Jeremiah believes Howard might be selected with one of the top 50 picks in the 2025 NFL draft.

“He’s right on the borderline of a top-50 pick for me at this point in time,” Jeremiah said during a Thursday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
