Case Keenum could be plenty negative.
The Washington Redskins veteran had his breakout in Minnesota, stumbled in Denver, then arrived with his current team to take part in an odd quarterback competition for a team that quickly canned its head coach.
After losing the starting job…now he’s back to close the season after a season-ending injury to Dwayne Haskins.
He’s not letting the chance go to waste, per Les Carpenter of the Washington Post:
“I mean, that’s the name of this league; that’s how it goes every time,” Keenum said. “You’re trying to extend your career and trying to put your résumé on tape. … Every time you step on the field, that’s your résumé; it’s a video résumé. That’s what I try to do. That’s why I play hard every snap.”
That approach is why Keenum has lasted so long in the NFL as a journeyman to this point. He’s winning gigs and at least staying in the mix at multiple stays because of it.
Keenum’s time in Washington might be coming to a close already. But the rest of the roster might be wise to watch the effort level Sunday in a so-called meaningless game.
