One of the biggest things that a young quarterback can do is build trust with his receivers, and there’s no better way to do so than building a relationship with them.
Part of the reason why Dwayne Haskins and Terry McLaurin were so successful together in 2019 was the fact that they were already close by the time they had been drafted by the Redskins, as they played together at Ohio State University. Now, Haskins will look to further his relationship and connection with the rest of the receivers on the team as well, and he has a plan to make that happen this offseason.
A Florida workout vacation.
The Redskins VP of Player Personnel Kyle Smith stated on Tuesday that Haskins has shown great improvement so far in his first NFL offseason, and he’s looking to continue to grow as a player and a teammate. He will try to do this by taking his receiving corps down to Florida to spend some time together and gain more reps. We’ve seen veteran quarterbacks like Tom Brady do this a lot in the past, and it’s seemed to work pretty well.
There is not yet a specific time or a place that this will happen, as far as we know, but it is on the schedule. Come fall camp, we can likely expect to see McLaurin, Steven Sims, Kelvin Harmon, Cam Sims, and Trey Quinn all looking a bit tanner.
