There’s one thing that is pretty hard to argue when you watch the Washington Redskins as of late; the rookie talent is definitely improving.
Over the past several weeks, rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins has take a couple of noticeable steps forwards, and he has back-to-back wins under his belt to show for it. At first, he looked unsure of himself in the pocket, and liable to make snap decisions based on instinct. However, as of late, his footwork looks sound, his accuracy has improved, and his seems to be more comfortable with rushers closing in around him.
Pro Football Focus has also noticed the improvement, and they have Haskins rising in their rookie rankings up to No. 15 among this years’ first-round picks — coincidentally where Haskins was drafted back in April.
Aside from the quarterback, Washington has a couple other dynamic rookies, namely WRs Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon. McLaurin has been a joy to watch all season, and he continues his brilliant career-start with a 6th overall ranking among rookies in the NFL, according to ESPN.
Young talent is the name of the game, and Washington seems to have a bright future when it come to that aspect alone.
