Former Ohio State and current Washington Redskins’ quarterback Dwayne Haskins has only had one year in the NFL. Most of that was spent in a backup role before he was given the opportunity as a starter towards the tail-end of the season. That was abruptly ended by injury.
This year, all signs point to Haskins being the starter, with an opportunity to be the face of the franchise if he can build on some of the promise he showed before the ankle injury.
But will he make that step? If he doesn’t, the Redskins’ brass, with new head coach Ron Rivera could start to get a little antsy and impatient. Haskins will get a crack at it, but he’s not Rivera’s guy, so you never know how that’s all going to play out, especially with Alex Smith trying to get back healthy for the start of the season.
On that note, ESPN ranked all the projected starting quarterbacks heading into this coming NFL season and how committed the organizations are with their roles. So where did Dan Graziano have Haskins? Maybe less secure than you would think.
