I have a confession to make, after the first game of the season, I was all ready to write an article proclaiming Dwayne Haskins to be the best passing quarterback in Ohio State history. I fought against my worst, prisoner of the moment instincts, and didn’t write the article — although I think that the season would have backed me up. I’ve also said throughout the season in articles and on podcasts that I think that Haskins will be gone from Columbus after this season, and will be an early first-round NFL Draft pick.
I think that is probably still true, but while he has put up incredible passing numbers this season, and very well could break OSU’s single-season passing record in the first quarter against Michigan State, I think the totality of the Ohio State offensive struggles have shown that Haskins isn’t completely ready for the jump to the NFL.
