Steelers’ Dwayne Haskins is in perfect spot to rebuild his career. Can he eliminate the 'distractions?'

When the Washington Football Team benched Dwayne Haskins in early October, it was hard not to think about his future and where it would be.

For Haskins, a first-round draft pick 21 months ago, being benched after four games for journeyman Kyle Allen didn’t portend great things for his job status with Washington.

By now, you probably know what occurred over the next three months. A succession of injuries to Allen (then Alex Smith) led Washington to hand the starting job back to Haskins, who turned in a disastrous two-game run.
