#Redskins add another FCS CB to their defensive-backfield by signing North Dakota @UNDfootball CB Deion Harris (joining Danny Johnson (Southern) & Jimmy Moreland (JMU).

When healthy, Harris was one of the top defensive players in the country. Watch out for him in Washington. https://t.co/L4qSfuVHRg

Gruden says one of the specific things that is impressive about Haskins is his touch. They shortened up some of the red zone work today to make it a little more difficult and he did well.

Gruden on Haskins: "I think he's made some throws that make you turn your head without a doubt...He's just a big, solid, fundamentally sound guy." https://t.co/nuZDKCUZm2

Jay Gruden asked if QB competition is open: “Yeah for sure. Case is coming in with the most experience and Colt has the most experience in this system and Dwayne was the 15th pick in the draft...” #Redskins

— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 11, 2019

Jay says the QB decision will be made over time. It’s an open competition. Don’t expect anything any time soon.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 11, 2019

“He’s a guy that wants to work at it. He’s gotta work at it. You have to at that position.” -Gruden on Haskins and his propensity to study.

He says that Brees and Brady still study. That’s what makes them great.

Another prominent draft analyst - @ChrisTrapasso - feels that Dwayne Haskins would be better served by sitting in 2019 & not playing.

Good idea? Is there anyone that can be that patient round here?

Nick Sundberg has dealt with a back issue for the last three years that at its worst, prohibited him from standing up on his own. The #Redskins' longest tenured player's scary issues are behind him and he's now ready for his 10th season. The story: https://t.co/m3bXZxl8zo
