Dwayne Haskins at NFL Combine: ‘I’m a thrower not a runner’

A few weeks ago, Stephen A. Smith made one of the most ridiculous claims of the year, stating that he saw Dwayne Haskins as more of a “runner than a thrower.”

That comment was widely criticized, as Haskins was one of the best passing quarterbacks in college football in 2018. He threw for an NCAA-best 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns, leading Ohio State to a 13-1 record and a B1G title.

While at the NFL Combine, Haskins had a little fun with that comment during an interview with Big Ten Network. When he was asked how he thought the physical part of the combine, Haskins said he was a “thrower not a runner.”

Haskins also spoke about meeting with different teams, how his time at Ohio State prepared him for the upcoming draft and his experience in Columbus.

Here’s the full interview from Big Ten Network:

"I'm a thrower, not a runner." 😉
