Dwayne Haskins is ‘fired up’ to play with the two Antonio’s in Washington

Throughout the 2019 NFL season, there weren’t many places for Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins to go with the ball. That’s not to say that he would have been able to perfectly get the ball to his weapons had there been more targets, but outside of Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims and Adrian Peterson, options were limited for the Redskins offense.

Coming out of the 2020 NFL Draft, and heading into the new season, Haskins has taken notice of the new teammates around him, and he’s excited to have a few new playmakers at his disposal.

“I’m excited about the additions,” Haskins said via NBC Sports Washington. “When [Antonio Gibson] said he was a playmaker, that got me fired up. He hit me up after the draft and he was trying to figure out any tips and things he can learn about the offense.”

With picks in the third and fourth rounds, the Redskins added RB Antonio Gibson and WR Antonio Gandy-Golden — two players who may not start in year 1, but will definitely have an impact on the offense.

So now, assuming that everyone around him stays healthy, Haskins will look at an offensive depth chart that includes both Antonio’s, McLaurin, AP, Sims, Derrius Guice, Kelvin Harmon, and Cody Latimer at the most basic level. Should he show the improvement that we all expect to see, that could be a pretty fun offense to watch.
