Dwayne Haskins must create own legacy, no matter what number he wears
The Washington Redskins' two biggest additions this offseason led to celebrations, high-fives and hope. It also led to a big debate about the numbers they would wear for a simple reason: Both wore jersey numbers taken out of circulation by the organization.
The latest flap was resolved thanks to quarterback Joe Theismann, who granted first-round pick Dwayne Haskins permission to wear the No. 7 he made famous during the early 1980s. After all, Theismann was the Redskins' first Super Bowl winning quarterback. He's the all-time winningest quarterback in Washington, too. In fact, he's the only Redskin to ever wear the number.
