Over 20 Howard alumni have played in the NFL, including:

Howard's top rival is Hampton University. The two schools call their intense rivalry The Real HU.

Howard also has a strong rivalry with Morgan State University.

Another of Howard's historic rivals is Morehouse College, more popularly known as the Howard/ "Spel-House" rivalry due to Morehouse's close association with the all-women's HBCU Spelman College. This rivalry is not often played because Morehouse is a Division II athletic program, while Howard is Division I.
