Howe is known for his high-flying and crowd pleasing marks that light up the stadium. In 2012 he won the Mark of the Year award, an award for which he has had a league record 35 career nominations.

In October 2015, Howe was traded to the Collingwood Football Club.{{cite news|url=http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-19/mega-trade-howe-seedsman-toumpas-and-kennedy-all-swap-clubs|title=Mega-trade: Howe, Seedsman, Toumpas and Kennedy all swap clubs|last=Bowen|first=Nick|date=19 October 2015|work=AFL.com.au|publisher=Bigpond|access-date=19 October 2015}}

During the first round of the 2023 AFL season Howe suffered an arm injury in the third quarter after attempting a mark, colliding with Tyson Stengle's back, and landing awkwardly. It was deemed too gruesome to be replayed or zoomed in on, and he was carried off the field in a stretcher and taken to hospital.{{cite news|last=Baum|first=Greg|date=17 March 2023|title=Crowd-pleasing Magpies give fans plenty to cheer about|url=https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/crowd-pleasing-collingwood-magpies-give-fans-plenty-to-cheer-about-20230317-p5ct3k.html|work=The Age|location=Melbourne|access-date=18 March 2023}} Following the match it was revealed that he had broken his arm and would have to go surgery, sidelining him for an indefinite period.{{cite news|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-18/afl-collingwood-magpies-jeremy-howe-has-surgery/102115600|title=Collingwood's Jeremy Howe undergoes surgery on broken arm, sidelined indefinitely|newspaper=ABC News|date=18 March 2023}} Howe returned to play in round 15, June 25, with his healed arm in a protective padded sleeve.{{cite news|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/957379/howe-about-that-collingwood-magpie-jeremy-howe-completes-miracle-comeback-from-horror-injury|title=Howe about that: Magpie completes miracle comeback from horror injury|publisher=Australian Football League |access-date=27 June 2023}}
