LOVERRO: Snyder sends a message about Haskins' future

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

There has been an interesting message coming out of Redskins Park concerning the future of rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

Make no mistake about it, Haskins is Dan Snyder’s quarterback. He ordered his football people to draft him with the 15th pick in the first round, he was the only player Snyder met with at the NFL combine in Indianapolis, and he got the call that he was a Redskin from Snyder himself. Lest we forget, Haskins went to the same school, Bullis, as Snyder’s son and, according to one story, they were friends.

None of that means necessarily that Haskins was the wrong selection, or that Haskins won’t be a successful NFL quarterback.
