The news doesn't even seem real. Haskins, 24, had his entire life- and NFL career ahead of him. Former Steelers teammates Joe Haden and Eric Ebron perhaps said it best.
Dwayne Haskins' death was a terrible loss for the Steelers, the sports world and the NFL family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Haskins.
