Haskins said Eric Dickerson Jersey Thursday he will use the slide as motivation going forward and he wants to prove to other Darrell Henderson Jersey teams that he should've gone earlier.

"I'm more motivated than ever, there's a bigger chip on my shoulder, the league done me sed up," Haskinssaid (). "I'm right down the street, so we're going to do it right this time. So it's crazy."

Coach Jay Gruden said Thursday Haskins will have the chance to compete for the starting position. The 21-year-old Trumaine Johnson Jersey will be up againstCase Keenum and Colt McCoy for the starting job as Alex Smith is expected to mi s the entire 2019 season after suffering a gruesome leg injury last season.

"Well, if you are a 15th pick of the draft, I think you have to give him the opportunity, without a doubt," Gruden said. "We feel good about the guys we have in the building for sure, Dante Fowler Jr Jersey but when you take a guy in the first round, you have to give him a chance to compete. That's just the way it is, just the way pro football is.

"A quarterback that has performed like he has in one year of playing football is quite astonishing, actually. He's got all the tools to be an exceptional quarterback in pro football. Now it's a matter of getting him in the building. Get him caught up with the offense. Going slow with him. We're excited Jack Youngblood Jersey to have him. Great kid, great player. Very smart. We feel really good where he is as a player. Where he's Josh Reynolds Jersey going."

Haskins,who went to high school in Maryland, only played one season as a starter at Ohio State but completed 70 percent of his pa ses for 4,831 yards,50 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting and was a third-team All-American.

"I had Sam Shields Jersey one year in college and I feel like I showed all I could as far as one year," Haskins said. "I broke a lot of records and did a lot of great things. I feel like I did a lot of stuff that showed that I can be able to translate to the NFL. Just being able to do what I did at a high level, it was the right choice John Franklin-Myers Jersey for me to make that change to go to the pros."
