The news report came via Rick Ellsey, who is an attorney for the Haskins estate.
Dwayne Haskins accomplished a lot in his heart-wrenchingly short life. After becoming a high school football standout in the state of Maryland, Haskins joined the Ohio State Buckeyes, where he earned the starting job for the 2018 season and set school records, eclipsing 4,000 passing yards and 50 touchdowns on the season.
After spending the first few years of his professional career with Washington, Haskins joined the Steelers in 2021 as a backup and resigned with the team just weeks before his untimely passing.
Haskins' death caused an outpouring of grief and condolences from both the NFL and the sports world as a whole. The Steelers honored Haskins throughout last season by wearing a patch with the number three on their helmet, signifying the number Haskins wore with the team.
Ohio State also honored Haskins during their 2022 spring game, wearing Haskins' initials on their helmets in addition to displaying a tribute video to the late quarterback on the big screen.
Haskins was just 24 years old when he passed away.
