The Facts: Haskins' flashes produce moments of joy, throws punctuated by high-fives from the coach or fist bumps from his offensive coordinator. Those moments remind the Redskins -- as if they needed it -- why they drafted him. Other throws let them know Haskins needs more seasoning. But with spring practices completed, they've seen enough to know that this year's 15th overall pick is a serious contender for the starting job. "Oh, for sure," HC Jay Gruden said. "I'd be silly not to. He's put enough out there on tape to say he deserves a shot, without a doubt."

Diehards Line: The Redskins also have Colt McCoy, who has been with Gruden for six seasons, and Case Keenum, who has started 54 games, including 30 over the past two seasons. Gruden knows more of what to expect from those two. Haskins, 21, has talent, but no NFL experience. "Dwayne is the wild card," Gruden said. According to ESPN.com's John Keim, what Haskins must do is develop and learn. It's all about progressing; when that results in Haskins starting games remains to be seen. "I'm not worrying about starting Week 1. I just want to be ready to play Week 1 -- whether that's this year or next year," Haskins said. "Whenever the time comes for me to play. I want to make sure that when I do play, I don't want to look back." We'll be watching when Washington next takes the field in training camp.
