Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins did not exactly have a great debut last Thursday, throwing a couple of interceptions in the Redskins' first preseason game, but that isn't going to deter him from believing in himself.

The rookie is confident that he is one day going to be a really good quarterback, but he also understands he needs to be patient:

“It's just going to happen naturally, organically,” said Haskins, according to John Keim of ESPN.com. “I had to come to terms with that. Now that I've been here for a little bit, it's like, man, it's a process. … By no means am I settling. I know that I want to be great and I know I will be great. It's just that I have to be in a place where I know what I'm doing.”

Haskins, who played his collegiate football at Ohio State, was selected by Washington in the first round (15th pick overall) of the NFL Draft back in April.

The general consensus was initially that the 22-year-old would be a top 10 pick, but he ended up being the third quarterback taken in the draft, as both Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones went before him, with Jones being a bit of a surprise.

Haskins is coming off of a brilliant sophomore campaign with the Buckeyes in which he threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 70 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 174.1.

The Redskins have named Colt McCoy their starting quarterback and Case Keenum the primary backup, so Haskins will be beginning his rookie season third on Washington's depth chart.
