STEELERS QB,--- DWAYNE HASKINS, DEAD AT 24 Y.O.

It's early in the news cycle, but it appears Haskins was struck by a dump truck while walking on an Interstate Hwy in Florida.  He played parts of three years and was recently tendered by the Steelers as a RFA. Haskins was competing for a job behind Mason Rudolph and Mitchel Trubisky after Ben Roethlisberger retired.  Haskins was taken by Washington at #15 overall in the first round of the 2019 draft. He was very ineffectual in two years at Washington and was released. Pittsburgh picked him up to compete last year.

Haskins was in Florida training with other Pittsburgh players in the run-up to Training Camp. Why he was out on the freeway walking is anyone's guess at this point.

Bless his family.

Huge loss as a human being. Poor kid.

There are a few more details available about Dwayne Haskins and his demise while down in Florida. Haskins was struck by a dump truck while walking on a freeway/expressway. He apparently entered a lane of traffic on foot and was struck and killed. There is now a little news from a "witness" who saw him move from the shoulder of the road into the right lane where he was hit. Haskins was pronounced dead at the scene. Florida law enforcement has not released any information pursuant to their official investigation.
When it wraps up, we will probably know the real story.

I thought I had replied to this thread, but it is so sad, such a talented young man with such a bright future. I just wish I knew why on God's green earth he was walking on the interstate.

I suspect we will not know the whole story for awhile. There is an ongoing investigation and the officials want to keep details out of the media and the public eye until it wraps up. We will probably hear the story in a month or two....... oe maybe not.!

Doesn’t matter. It happened. It’s sad. . I hate it did.
