Would the Pittsburgh Steelers have given a shot to Dwayne Haskins had he cost much more than the minimum? Perhaps not. Probably not, even. But he’s here now, and he’s getting his chance, and seemingly making the most of it. Yesterday, general manager Kevin Colbert hopped on SiriusXM Radio with Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller, and talked a bit about why they felt like there might be something behind the former Washington quarterback.
“In my opinion, Dwayne came out too early”, he said of the 2019 first-round pick. “Not to say he didn’t get drafted and picked at the 14th pick, and it worked out for him from that standpoint, but sometimes, when you play too early, and you’re not ready, especially at that position, I think it can be a career-threatening type of objective”.
