Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins got off to a terrible start with his rookie year, but he made some improvements his last few starts and that makes his offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell proud. Haskins looked really good, especially against the New York Giants before he went down with an ankle injury that has ended his season.

“I think [his growth] was ongoing all the way up until his last snap there when he got hurt there at the start of the second half the other day,” O'Connell said on Friday, via team transcript. “I was so proud of him.”

In Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles Haskins completed 19-of-28 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers. Having one good game is important but the most important thing is putting good games together in a row. Against the Giants, he was well on his way to that throwing for 133 yards and two touchdowns before going down with an injury.

“I think that's the biggest thing for him is just his improvement from the first time he played against the Giants to the last time he played against the Giants, just his overall efficiency within the position snap-in and snap-out in the confines of our offense while also eliminating the football [plays] and giving us a chance as an offense to, not only him personally but all those guys, get into a rhythm and then the growth obviously of those young players around him was huge for us,” O'Connell said.

Even though he can't play in Week 17, he showed flashes and the Redskins have to be happy with what they have in their future under center. There are a lot of other positions that need to be figured out this offseason but they have a quarterback under center that can be counted on for years to come.
