After gaining starting experience last year with the Carolina Panthers, Kyle Allen is excited about the chance to compete with Dwayne Haskins for the Washington Redskins quarterback job in 2020.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Allen called it "an awesome opportunity" with the Redskins, saying, "I think the expectation is to come in and compete for the job."

Washington acquired Allen from the Panthers for a 2020 fifth-round draft pick March 24. The move reunites the Arizona native with head coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Scott Turner.
