The Washington Redskins drafted quarterback Dwayne Haskins with the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
His rookie year had its ups and downs. However, it definitely ended on a high note. Although he missed the last game of the season due to injury, Haskins had hit his stride. That included big games against the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants.
Both could be considered big moments in his rookie season. The quarterback is commemorating a different big moment, though. A moment from a game that he actually didn't even play in.
Early in the season, Washington squared off with the New England Patriots. Colt McCoy was the starting quarterback for the Redskins in that game.
However, at the end of the contest, Haskins and New England quarterback (at the time) Tom Brady met in the middle of the field.
That meeting is now immortalized on a wall in Haskins' house. Seriously.

You've got to love that. Haskins recognized the greatest and the importance of that moment in his career.
You could interpret this in a few different ways. This could be Haskins trying to remind himself that he is in the same league as an all-time great. Or it could just be a moment that he had been looking forward to for a very long time.
Either way, it's a seriously cool piece of art and a great way to immortalize a moment. And at just 22 (today, May 3, is his birthday) there is a lot of time for the quarterback to make more memories and moments.
Could we be looking back on this mural in 15 years? Could a new young quarterback look up to Haskins in that way and be so excited about meeting him that they want to immortalize the moment?
Only time will tell; his potential is sky-high, though.
