Haskins beat out Burrow for the starting job prior to the 2018 season. He went on to throw for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns before entering the NFL Draft.
He was also on the field when Burrow suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his left during during the 2020 campaign. Haskins was one of many Washington players that consoled Burrow when the Bengals' star was being carted off the field.

Haskins played for Pittsburgh last season after spending the first two years of his pro career in Washington.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Haskins' family during this tragic time.
