Quarterback Dwayne Haskins stayed at home
-
in Maryland to watch the first round of the draft rather than travel to Nashville and the decision left him close to his eventual destination.Haskins was selected 15th overall by Washington on Thursday night in a move that sets him up to compete for a starting job right off the bat. It also left him feeling slighted after two other quarterbacks — Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones — were drafted ahead of him.During an ESPN interview after his selection Deshazor Everett Jersey , Haskins said those choices would be used as fuel in the future.“I’m more motivated than ever, there’s a bigger chip on my shoulder, the league done messed up,” Haskins said. “I’m right down the street, so we’re going to do it right this time. So it’s crazy.”Head coach Jay Gruden didn’t hand Haskins, who became the first Big Ten quarterback to go in the first round since 1995 Mason Foster Jersey , the job out of the gate. He will be competing with Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, but he’s the quarterback of the future in Washington and the level of competition means it may not take much for the team to decide the future is now. Titans tackle Taylor Lewan and Washington cornerback Josh Norman had an altercation after Saturday’s game that included Norman throwing his helmet at Lewan and Lewan mocking Norman’s bow-and-arrow celebration in response.Norman didn’t talk to the media after the game, but Lewan shared his explanation for why he made his way over to Norman after the game was over.“I’m not worried about Josh Norman, man. I’m an offensive lineman; he’s a DB,” Lewan said, via ESPN.com. “I don’t even know who that is. I was pissed — he was trying to hurt Derrick Henry during that four-minute [drive]. That’s not the way football is supposed to be played Jamison Crowder Jersey , man. It’s not our fault you’re not relevant anymore. He tackled him, and it was like a temper tantrum. I was trying to get Derrick up, and he’s throwing a hissy-fit, going low at him and stuff like that.”Henry said he didn’t think Norman was trying to hurt him, but “it didn’t work” if that was Norman’s plan as the Titans drove for a go-ahead score in Saturday’s win.
