When reports emerged that owner Dan Snyder had “taken over” the first round of the Redskins’ draft last month so the team could take quarterback Dwayne Haskins, it was natural to think of Robert Griffin III.
The Redskins, after all, invested so much into Griffin — trading away future picks in order to grab him — only for the move to backfire longterm. Though the Redskins didn’t trade up to take Haskins, Snyder’s involvement made fans nervous before the draft.
But according to a former NFL executive, there’s a big difference between the two quarterbacks.
“Dwayne Haskins is twice the thrower of Robert Griffin III,” ESPN analyst Louis Riddick said recently on a podcast.
