Do you want me to provide the answer? I hate to spoil your trivia immediately.

Howard was trying to make the 1996 squad, but was languishing and facing getting cut. Ron Wolf talked about it in an interview years later
Here's Howard sporting jersey number 22- they gave him that number instead of a WR number because they didn't think he was gonna make it. But then this happened in the 2nd preseason game and the rest is history.
Here's the video- the punt return for a TD starts at the 2:13 mark

I'll SWAG it ............... Seattle. Have no idea the years. There was a period called the Ken Behring Years when the Seahawks were at or near rock bottom, These were the AFC days when the Kingdome attendance dropped below 40,000.
Steelers is a good (and probably a better) guess as well.

Only off by 3 years, 1988.

As a rookie in 1952, Billy Howton caught 13 TD passes (in a 12 game season). That record stood until 1998.

Looking for a little help on this one.
Back in the early 80's GB had a super tall TE...and they used him on STs to block FGs because of his superb reach
Anybody remember such a player ? I think they even adjusted the rules to limit his effectiveness blocking kicks
