Dwayne Haskins and Derrius Guice are in the gym, putting in work this offseason

Two of the Redskins’ best young players are working to knock the stigma’s that’ve formed around their young careers and doing so in the gym.

Any NFL player can talk the talk during the offseason, claiming that you’ve been in the gym all day, every day and that your life is dedicated to getting better on the field. What matters most is that you actually walk the walk, and it leads to improvement in the next season.

We don’t know if it will lead to more success on the football field — or more time simply spent on the field in Derrius Guice’s case — but we do know that both Washington Redskins’ quarterback Dwayne Haskins, and Guice, their running back, have been putting in the work so far this offseason.

These videos are highly encouraging to Redskins fans because they show exactly what you want to see. The biggest knock on Haskins in his rookie season was that he hadn’t completely bought in, and wasn’t quite putting in the level of work that you desire from your future franchise QB. Now, with buzz swirling around him that the team that drafted him might choose to draft another QB this year as well, Haskins can be found in the gym, and on the field, putting in work.

The same goes for Guice, who has seen his young and promising career derailed by injuries thus far, as he’s been sent to the Injured Reserve three times already in two years. Rehab appears to be going well, though, as Guice is seen getting a set of explosive squats out of the way.

There’s no guarantee that this hard work in the offseason will amount to any success for the Redskins, but it’s not going to make them worse. The young players are buying in, and you love to see it.
