Ian Michael Howfield (born June 4, 1966) is a former American football placekicker who played in the National Football League (NFL) and Arena Football League.
Howfield graduated from Columbine High School 1984, then attended Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas from 1984 to 1985. He transferred to the University of Tennessee in 1986 to begin his placekicking career, graduating in 1987.
Howfield, who played college football at the University of Tennessee, is the son of former NFL placekicker Bobby Howfield. Howfield played six years in the National Football League as a placekicker: Miami Dolphins in 1987, Seattle Seahawks from 1988-1989 (signed to the practice squad for both years), Denver Broncos in 1990, Houston Oilers in 1990-1991, Philadelphia Eagles in 1992 and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1993. He led the Oilers in scoring in 1991.
Howfield played two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks and two seasons with the Houston Oilers. He was cut by the Oilers in November 1991 a day after missing a field goal which cost the Oilers a chance to beat the undefeated Redskins in Washington. The Oilers lost the game in overtime. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played for the Dallas Texans, Las Vegas Sting, Anaheim Piranhas and Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena Football League over seven seasons.
