I'm Deeply saddened to report that Steelers Quarterback Dwayne Haskins was killed early Saturday morning. Apparently, he was hit by a Dump truck. Haskins, who would have turned 25 on May 3, was trying to cross an interstate on foot in Broward County in Florida when he was struck, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Haskins was declared dead at the scene of the accident.
Quote: Haskins was a fixture at Steelers’ community outreach events, volunteering his time to help others in his new home. He jumped in right away, helping to hand out backpacks, school supplies and hygiene kits at a Pittsburgh public schools back-to-school event. Through the Salvation Army’s Project Bundle Up initiative a couple of months later, Haskins and eight teammates took a group of local kids shopping for winter gear at Dick’s Sporting Goods. In December, he delivered Christmas gifts, food, shoes, socks and health care items to Pittsburgh organizations and the Convoy of Hope for Huddle for the Holidays. Haskins has been described as always upbeat and cheerful with team mates and others.

No matter which team you are for, it's tremendously sad when a young life is taken before it's full potential can be realized.
Rest in peace, Dwayne.
