Desmond Howard, the former Heisman Trophy winner, made it public he has contracted COVID-19.

The football legend made the announcement Thursday, noting he is experiencing symptoms of cough and muscle soreness. He said he caught the virus this week.

50-year-old Howard says the disease makes his throat itchy which usually gives him a “clear-your-throat cough” feeling.He, however, reports that he does not have fever and plans to be up for his ESPN college football analyst job this weekend remotely.

He said he feels good but has to “take this very seriously because it is a tricky virus.”

“I’ve been taking a ton of water”, he said, “and getting a bunch of sleep.”

Howard appears optimistic, hoping to win the virus very soon.
