Here's what we know and don't know about quarterback Dwayne Haskins' death.
FLORIDA -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died when he was struck by a dump truck Saturday morning as he tried to cross a highway on foot in South Florida, authorities said.Authorities have so far released few details about the circumstances of his death.
Washington selected Haskins as the 15th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but he didn't live up to his lofty status. He played 16 games across two seasons for Washington, compiling a 3-10 record in 13 starts. Last month, Haskins re-signed with the Steelers for one year was set to compete with Rudolph and new Steelers acquisition Mitchell Trubisky for positions on the depth chart.
"When you think about Dwayne you just think about the compassion he had, certainly for all of his teammates and his friends. He always took time after practice to be around family members, kids," he said."He meant a lot to my family and he meant a lot to this program, and he's going to be sorely missed.
"Dwayne was a talented young man who had a long life ahead of him," Rivera's statement reads."This is a very sad time and I am honestly at a loss for words. I know I speak for the rest of our team in saying he will be sorely missed."
