Dwayne Haskins officially named starter with Washington Football Team
Dwayne Haskins will be the Week 1 starter for the Washington Football Team. The announcement was official on Wednesday.
Haskins starting opening weekend in the NFL isn’t much of a surprise, as he has been working primarily with the starters during the offseason, per ESPN. However, with the franchise hiring a new coach in Ron Rivera, the starting job was considering to be up for grabs in Washington.
Now, the offense will be Haskins’ to run as a second-year player in the league.
