Only the 6th QB in FBS history to throw 50 TD passes in a season.

58 - Colt Brennan, Hawai'i, 2006
54 - David Klingler, Houston, 1990
52 - B.J. Symons, Texas Tech, 2003
50 - Dwayne Haskins, Ohio State, 2018
50 - Sam Bradford, Oklahoma, 2008
50 - Derek Carr, Fresno State, 2013

Just sayin': Looking at the top 3 you can say 50 TD passes in a college season does not guarantee NFL success. The football QB is the toughest position in all of the teams sports. Not very many college QBs become NFL stars after only starting 1 year of college. Dwayne Haskins is just a rs-Sophomore, he really should come back for 1 more year; however, it is hard to pass on a $20M (or so) contract. I really would like to see Ohio State offer to buy him some income protection insurance (i.e. $10M) which might allow him to return for his rs-Junior year.

According to industry professionals, the general rule is that a top-10 pick will qualify for $10 million of permanent total disability with a $5 million loss-of-value rider.

The student assistance fund is money provided to every university by the NCAA that can be used for a variety of scenarios to help student-athletes financially for everything from travel for funerals to formula for babies. The NCAA allows universities to pay for the insurance policies out of this fund, but not every university chooses to do so.

Do you gamble with a slamdunk high first round draft slot (this year) in order to help your chances of sticking in the league?

Not only is he unlikely to improve his draft slot, there's a strong chance he slides (while going unpaid for a year to do so). Next year has Tua, Fromme, Herbert.


Going to the Giants would be a great situation, assuming the staff is patient enough to let him grow.

If he payed attention at all to Cardale Jones, his bags are all packed.

It makes sense to come back if:
1. You aren’t getting drafted.
2. You want to improve your draft stock.
3. There’s some unfinished business you need to finish with your coach or friends.

Dwayne is none of those things.

Strike while the iron is hot. Not going to get any hotter. No reason to play for free when people want to pay you a lot of money to do it. This isn’t a charity case. Ohio State will be fine without Dwayne.

I don't even think staying enhances his chances of sticking. High draft picks get long ropes regardless of initial early returns and he's not likely to get so much better with another year of college that the upside of maybe being a top 5 pick vs. a top 15 pick (and he might go top 5 this year given the weak QB class and overvaluation of QBs) makes much difference. Certainly not enough to outweigh injury risk, coaching transition risk, younger WR risk ...

I don't see an NC ring, so 3 could apply. But he still should go.

I agree. The only longevity argument is that he'll get lots of quality reps (with a low chance of benching) next year in college, even if he takes a step back. He may not get those reps in the pros if he is not ready. You are right that he'll get more chances than a mid-rounder like Cardale.

Dwayne's draft stock would take a significant hit throwing to the exact same WRs in their young form (the experience level that the 2019 QB will have). Young Parris and Terry were talented but very inconsistent. Young Johnny was still a probable hardship waiver.

WR Olave (a few games)
WR Mack (vet but rehabbing)
WR Victor (vet but not consistent)
Backups: Saunders, Harris, Wilson, etc
HB Gill (almost no PT)
RB Dobbins/McCall
TE All returning

If Mack has any lingering issues with his injury, you have Victor and Saunders as your lone veterans at WR. That's not a recipe for skipping a layup to the top of the draft.
