“They’re all pretty good,” he said of Washington’s quarterbacks, who include Dwayne Haskins, Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, according to The Washington Post.
“Obviously, McCoy is an outstanding player with a great deal of experience, and so is Case. Those guys have played a lot of football, they’ve played a lot of good football, and they have a very talented group of skill players with them. Haskins is a young, talented player.
