Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died this weekend after he was struck by a vehicle, his agent Cedric Saunders told ESPN's Adam Schaffter. Haskins was 24 years old.
Haskins was training in South Florida with other Steelers quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. He died after being hit by a vehicle on Saturday morning.
"I am devastated and at a loss for words at the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. “Upon arrival in Pittsburgh he quickly became part of our Steelers family and was one of our toughest workers on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but also a tremendous friend to so many. I am really heart broken.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Calabria, and their entire family during this difficult time."
After an exceptional junior season at Ohio State, Haskins was selected 15th overall by the Washington Commanders in the 2019 draft.
Haskins spent two turbulent seasons with Washington before signing at Pittsburgh last season.
Haskins started seven games as a rookie due to injuries to the other quarterbacks on the Commanders roster.
