For John Howland, the path that would lead to the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame all started in high school driver's education class.
Howland and his classmates were set up in a mock vehicle, with the design being to test their reaction time. After Howland went, his instructor could not believe his time. Thinking the machine to be broken, he sent Howland to try a different simulator After receiving similar numbers on a second machine, it became clear what the problem was.
Howland's reaction time was off the charts.
