In the ongoing debate about the Gaelic football All-Stars, former Mayo player and manager James Horan believes Brian Howard belongs in any Team of the Year.

Howard had 35 possessions in the All-Ireland final and was Stephen Cluxton’s top target in the 2023 championship. Despite that, James McCarthy, Tadhg Morley and Conor McCarthy were the half-back line selected by The Sunday Game panel post-final.
