Haskins carved out a spot as the starter for Washington, but off-the-field concerns and issues with the coaching staff resulted in the two parties going different directions. Now, it appears as though Haskins will get a chance to prove himself with Pittsburgh.
During the 2020 season, Haskins threw for 1,439 yards and 5 touchdowns but had 7 interceptions and completing 61.4% of his passes on the year. He also accounted for a rushing touchdown.
Haskins played in 16 career games with the Football Team over the past two years. He totaled 2,804 passing yards and 12 touchdown tosses with 14 picks and a 60.1% completion rate. He was taken with the No. 15 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft by Washington.
