The Washington Redskins have youth, upside, and questions at the quarterback position.

When the Washington Redskins spent a 2019 first-round pick on quarterback Dwayne Haskins, they were hoping that Haskins would be their quarterback of the future. And in 2020, he is going to have to prove that he is ready to take on that role.

In 2019, Haskins struggled as a rookie. He was forced into action earlier than anticipated because of injuries to Case Keenum and Colt McCoy and his first NFL action can only be described as disastrous. But he was just a one-year college starter, so he was raw coming into the league. And with more experience, he should have a chance to improve in 2020.

Haskins’ competition this year will be a lot different than last year. Keenum and McCoy are gone. Alex Smith is still in Washington, but he’s also still badly injured. Kyle Allen and Steven Montez were added to the quarterback room to provide depth, competition, and more youth to the position.

On paper, the group looks to have upside. In practice, it will be interesting to see what the team can accomplish.

Here’s an in-depth look at the quarterback room and what to expect from each passer as 2020 NFL training camp approaches.
