In a summer that has been absolutely ripe with storylines in Washington, one of the main football-related topics has been about second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins and his physical transformation over the offseason.
Any fan of the Washington Football Team already knows the details; Haskins has shed a layer of baby fat and is in the best shape of his young life; he’s been working with a who’s who of top WRs in the NFL, throwing routes in practice to a number of players who have experience and knowledge of how to get better in the league. For a QB who had a tumultuous rookie season, the summer of 2020 has been about everything you can ask for from Haskins. What’s left to do is prove that he can make all of those changes count on the field.
Morgan Moses on Dwayne Haskins: “He put the work in… he changed his body… but until in team periods you can’t tell if he’ll be that guy or not …still has a lot to prove like all of us”

Haskins knows that, and the team definitely knows that as well. When talking to media members on Friday morning, RT Morgan Moses raved about Haskins and his stellar offseason, but he noted that there is still a lot of proof that needs to be shown, which likely won’t come until 11v11 team periods in practice. Anyone can dominate drills and set throws, but the real players are able to pick apart a defense in live-action and prove their worth in the NFL.
We won’t get a chance to hear the reviews until a little bit later in training camp once the pads come on, but I’m sure that people will be quick to give their opinions. All eyes are on Haskins going into the 2020 season, and he is definitely aware of it.
