There is no question that Haskins endured his fair share of struggles this season. Washington made quite the investment when they took him with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, it became evident early on that there were plenty of other shortcomings with this team and it certainly has had a major impact on his development.

Fortunately, Haskins has managed to show some promise in recent weeks and will be going into the offseason with plenty to work on as he looks to establish himself as the clear-cut starter.

The onus will fall on the rest of the organization to provide an environment where he can develop into a franchise quarterback.
