Dwayne Haskins says he’s lost 17 pounds since being drafted by Redskins

One of the most intriguing storylines to follow when it comes to the Washington Redskins and their 2020 offseason has to do with quarterback Dwayne Haskins and the development that he goes through as he heads into his second year in the league. After a rookie season saw some promise, but a lot of hardships as well, there are several things that need to change going forward.

For Haskins, one of those things, in his opinion, was his fitness and weight. When talking to media members on Wednesday, the QB admitted that he had cut 17 pounds since being drafted, and 10 since he started training at the start of this offseason back in the winter.

Dwayne Haskins says that he's 218 right now, and started training in the winter at 228, and when he was drafted at 235. He said he cut out toxins in his life to achieve the weight loss. #HTTR

We’ve seen pictures of Haskins working out this summer already, and he looks to be in incredible shape, with a layer of baby fat now gone from his face and arms. I would expect this to directly impact his mobility in a positive way, and his endurance on the field should improve as well. If the physical signs of change are any indication, Haskins has been putting in work this offseason.
