Redskins legend Santana Moss commends Dwayne Haskins' maturity
The lack of offseason work with a new coaching staff drew out plenty of strong opinions about Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Last year’s No. 15 overall pick in the NFL Draft has some competition in 2020 in the form of Kyle Allen.
How serious of a competitor will Allen, a former starter under Ron Rivera, be for Haskins?
Santana Moss, one of the top receivers in Redskins history, is the latest to share his opinion on a battle between the two.

“Competition is competition,” Moss told Chad Dukes of 106.7 The Fan. “Who cares? You could know something better than me and that doesn’t mean jack. We still have to go out there and see who plays better. Just knowing that staff, not really knowing them personally but how most teams do things, they’re going to give both of those guys a chance to go out and get their fair share. Kyle has the upper hand because he knows the offense, but Dwayne knows football. As long as you’re a football player, it’s not going to be hard to learn something new.”
Allen started games in Carolina last season after Cam Newton’s injury shut him down for the season. He followed Rivera to DC after the Panthers invested in Teddy Bridgewater and PJ Walker at quarterback for next season. Allen started 12 games last season with 3,322 yards, 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. For the Redskins, Haskins started seven games. In those starts, he had seven touchdowns, three picks and 175 passing yards per game.
“He’s going to be eager for the challenge to go out and prove a lot of guys wrong,” Moss said. “You’ve seen from day one, he’s out to prove people. … I think Dwayne Haskins is more than capable of going out and being a starter for this team. It’s about how long it takes. If he gets enough time to go out with the coaching staff and show what he can bring -- he’s shown enough to me. … He’s shown me a lot of maturity.”
