WATCH: Dwayne Haskins explains how playing QB feels like a video game
There’s no denying Dwayne Haskins is feeling good right now, and he used an interesting metaphor when describing how he feels when he gets in the zone.
The Ohio State QB is a big reason why the Buckeyes are off to a 4-0 start to begin 2018. Haskins came up clutch in the win over TCU and has dominated opposing teams while being efficient with the ball.

Through four games, Haskins has already eclipsed 1,000 yards passing with 16 TDs while throwing just one interception. He is currently completing 75.7 percent of his passes and looks unflappable with the ball in his hands.
When asked about his performance, Haskins said it feels like he’s playing a video game when he’s on the field. He explained he’s able to see the field and his receivers while blocking out opposing defenders.
“When I play I feel like I’m playing a video game,” explained Haskins. “I see the field, I see the receivers and it’s like no one’s there. When I play it’s just execute. Every play’s an opportunity for a completion.”
