Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins excited to rise to Rivera’s challenge

The new head coach of the Washington Redskins did not unequivocally commit to Haskins as a long-term starting quarterback, but laid out a road map Haskins could use to win over the hearts of his new coaches. Rivera seems excited to work with Haskins, but he made it clear that Haskins has to keep improving, and not become complacent.

Now that Haskins has matured a bit since entering the league at the start of 2019, he’s not taking Rivera’s challenge lightly. And he’s excited himself. When asked about Rivera’s desire for Haskins to take on a greater role as a leader, Haskins had this to say, speaking at a Redskins charity event at the National Children’s Museum.
