The Washington Redskins drafted Dwayne Haskins with the 15th pick in the draft this summer to many fans delight. However, they also completed a trade with the Denver Broncos weeks prior to acquire Case Keenum. With all that experience in the QB room it was uncertain who was going to start between Keenum, Haskins, and the current backup Colt McCoy but we now have our answer.

Here is what Jay Gruden said he’s going to do to determine a starter:

“We’re going to go at it,” Gruden said. “Throw the ball out there let these guys compete really. I think he obviously displayed enough of a skillset to warrant the 15th pick in the draft and to give him an opportunity to see how far he can take this thing without a doubt. I’ve been impressed with the other quarterbacks that we have here. Case has done an excellent job from the little bit we’ve seen of him, and Colt’s obviously rehabbing. Josh [Woodrum] has done a good job as well. It’s a good group and competition will be there.””
