The Facts: In the months since the Redskins' final game of 2019, Haskins has zeroed in on improving as much as possible before his second season begins. Look no further than his trimmed physique. The 6-4 quarterback who tended to play north of 230 pounds is now below 220. Haskins' teammate and fellow former Ohio State star Terry McLaurin sees a bright future for the both of them. "He looks really good," McLaurin said Thursday of Haskins, "and I'm happy with how far he's come."
Diehards Line:The next steps toward a prosperous season (or more) will take place on the practice field, where McLaurin said he might try to make his quarterback comfortable by going first in drills and running clean routes. McLaurin can do this because he's already taken his first significant steps as a professional. His rookie season was a success, catching 58 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns. He's earned a little bit of clout. McLaurin will return to a corps in which he'll be considered the No. 1 target and might also be asked to take on an expanded role within the offense. He'll do so while running routes for a quarterback who spent much of his offseason bettering himself in all facets.
