Former WFT QB Dwayne Haskins Tweets 'Let's Work' After Steelers Contract

Free-agent quarterback Dwayne Haskins confirmed he signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, posting a photo from his contract signing to Twitter:

Haskins, 23, had a brutal 2020 season. He finished the year with 1,439 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions in seven games (six starts), completing 61.4 percent of his passes. The Washington Football Team went just 1-5 in his starts.

Those were disappointing numbers from the 2019 first-round pick, who also struggled in his rookie season. Not only was Haskins benched in favor of Kyle Allen early in the season and also fell behind Alex Smith on the depth chart, he was later benched in Week 16 for journeyman quarterback Taylor Heinicke while Smith was out injured.
