Dwayne Haskins became the latest first-round quarterback to officially earn the label of bonafide bust yesterday when he was released by the Washington Football Team after less than two seasons with the team. Haskins was picked No. 15 overall in the 2019 NFL draft, and at the time it was seen as a decent pick; Haskins clearly had the physical talent to play in the league after throwing 50 touchdown passes in one season as Ohio State s starter, and Washington needed a long-term answer at the position in the wake of the Kirk Cousins debacle and Alex Smith s injury.
Haskins was, however, always seen as a project that would need some serious development before he reached starter potential. He didn t show much in 2020, though, after starting a handful of games in 2019 as a rookie. His lack of progress in tandem with his reckless decision-making as it pertains to the NFL s coronavirus protocols led to his release on Monday.
