Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins dies after being struck by vehicle

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died this weekend when he was struck by a vehicle, his agent Cedric Saunders told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Haskins was 24 years old.

Haskins was training in South Florida with other Steelers quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. He was killed Saturday morning when he got struck by a vehicle.

"I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. "He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time."

who hit him and why? Hit by the driver of the dump truck, especially if Mr Haskins was walking with his back to the traffic...I learned that lesson in Georgia early in life.

... walking across an interstate in Florida when it happened.

I wanted Joe Burrow to be the starter at Ohio State instead of him, but I later doubted my earlier judgement after Haskins set various Big Ten passing records that year.

Feel so bad for his family and friends.

Saw another one with him passing as a child, thinking that he was a seemingly a better passer at that young age than J.T. Barrett in college.
