The Washington Redskins have had to turn to rookie receivers often this season — and that works just fine for rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Kelvin Harmon, a sixth-round pick, is one of those wideouts and it turns out he’s got an extensive history with Haskins.
Haskins spoke on this recently, noting not only a local connection growing up, but training together too, according to Jacob Steinberg of Redskins.com:
“…Me and him, we have a great connection together. He’s someone I like throwing to just because of his physical presence and his willingness to get better. We throw routes every day after practice and things like that.”
The connection has paid off for Harmon in recent weeks as he’s seen more playing time. Over the past three games he’s had at least five targets and breached the 50-yard mark once, bumping his season total to 222 yards on an 11.7 average.
Given the hobbled state of the wideout depth chart right now, Harmon only figures to benefit even more down the stretch.
