Dwayne Haskins: "I would have no problem" to back Eli

There were project simulations for quarterback Dwayne Haskins. And so have his visits. He has met the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins, the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins and the Oakland Raiders in recent weeks.

Haskins at the Giants was a very early popular showing, which holds both the No. 6 and No. 17 picks. After only one season in college, although a Heisman finalist, Haskins said he had no preference for the time or place of his recruitment and that he would like to have the opportunity to start his career alongside an experienced veteran.

"Eli Manning is a legend, I grew up watching Eli and I would have no problem to sit behind him and learn from him, as was the case with J.T. [Barrett] at Ohio State, "said Haskins, Ian Rapoport, NFL member, on the RapSheet and Friends podcast. Whichever team my team chooses, I will be able to stay calm and learn from the guy who is there, and be able to compete and push him. but know that one guy is there because he's a veteran, he's already done it, he's a professional.

"And I want to be in this guy's shoes one day, so I'm more than willing to learn from the grown-ups."

Haskins has already taken a step ahead in this regard. His early meetings included time with historical callers John Elway, Dan Marino and Doug Williams. And Kobe Bryant.

Yes, the Ohio State Quarterback has been coaching with basketball legend at the Mamba Sports Academy in California in an effort to increase his leadership skills . Haskins said that he particularly wanted to know more about using a different voice from his "user-friendly" approach.

"It's really a guy who brings a lot to the table with regards to how he trains, how he prepares and what he expects from his teammates." Very, very demanding " said Haskins about Bryant. "… and I want to be able to have this other tool, to be able to have that advantage that Kobe had .. Of course, I play like that, but I would be able to lead like that." That's why I studied Kobe. "

Haskins did not explore where recruitment experts place him among the other top quarters. He confirmed that he would not even be present for the repechage, which will begin next Thursday in Nashville, Tennessee, but instead chose to travel to the special occasion of his home in Maryland.

"I can not look at that, it makes me crazy," Haskins said. "But most importantly, it's that I just control what I can control and that I continue to improve every day, and I feel like I can be a quarterback of the Hall of Fame and win a whole bunch of Super Bowls …

"But I have room to grow up and I'm just going to keep improving and not worrying that the guys are ahead of me or behind me, because I'm going to be One of the best, so that's all I'm focusing on now. "
