The Washington Football Team traded a 5th round pick to the Carolina Panthers two years ago to acquire QB Kyle Allen. New Head Coach Ron Rivera and Offensive Coordinator Scott Turner were very familiar with him, and he was set to be the back up to starter Dwayne Haskins. Allen was familiar with the system and could help Haskins pick it up.
That plan hit a major roadblock when it only took 4 games for Rivera to bench Haskins. This put Kyle Allen in the starter spot. He was injured in his first start, but came back to start the next 3 games before dislocating his ankle vs the New York Giants.
