Roethlisberger Impressed So Far With Haskins’ Arm, Throwing Motion, Energy

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2021 OTA sessions got underway last week and that meant it was the first time the team got a chance to see new backup quarterback Dwayne Haskins on the practice field. Last week was also the first time that Steelers starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger got to see his newest understudy on the practice fields of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex as well. After Tuesday’s OTA session, Roethlisberger met the media and later during that interview he was asked to give his thoughts on what he’s seen out of Haskins so far.

“You know, I was just telling Coach Sulli [quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan] the other day that his release and throwing motion mechanics are some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen,” Roethlisberger said of Haskins.
