Washington

When the Giants selected Daniel Jones in the 2019 NFL Draft, there was a surprised quarterback watching from home. Haskins expected to be the first quarterback off the board after throwing for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns at Ohio State. He completed 70% of his passes in 2018 with the Buckeyes and that was enough to catch the eye of the then Redskins.

During his rookie season, Haskins did not impress right away. He was thrown into the fire in Week 3 against the Giants. Haskins finished 9-17 for 107 yards and three interceptions in his first live-action. He entered a few weeks later against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night and was given Washington’s stating job moving forward.

As a starter, Haskins threw seven touchdowns and just three interceptions. He started seven games and did not put up big numbers. Haskins threw for 200 or more yards just two times. Despite his improvement week-by-week, Haskins carries a lot of doubters with him into the 2020 season. There are still some that do not believe in his mental game along with his physical game. The jury is still out on Haskins. It is unfair to judge a young quarterback after just seven starts for the team that finished dead last in offensive production.

In a December loss to the Eagles, Haskins finished 19-28 for 261 yards and two touchdowns. Against a struggling Giants’ defense the very next week, Haskins played just two series before leaving with an injury. In those two series, Haskins went 12-15 for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Haskins has a lot to prove in 2020.

Washington added Antonio Gandy-Golden in the 2020 NFL Draft and signed tight end Thaddeus Moss as an undrafted free agent. Terry McLaurin and Steven Sims will be back on the outside along with newcomer Antonio Gibson. Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson will man the back field. Washington’s defense should be strong with the addition of Chase Young and their offense can be improved but it all depends on the play of Haskins.
