What’s really lost in this is that Dwayne Haskins was competing for the Steelers starting quarterback job and very well could have won it by the end of 17 weeks. I am not sure if the NFL has ever seen a starting caliber QB prospect lose his life so quickly and tragically.

All of this really doesn’t seem real. I feel like just yesterday we were talking about Dwayne having a birthday party in a pandemic, and now like that he’s gone forever.

I really feel for his family and hope we all do what we can do to keep his name alive. Like I said before, the swagger and confidence of this young man was one of a kind.

Much respect to Schefter and RIP Dwayne Haskins.

The Washington Football Team invested the 15th pick in Haskins just a few years ago. He can definitely play in the league if he matures and becomes a more studied quarterback. Most quarterbacks do not have his physical tools including the one legged QB Alex Smith who recovered from a career ending injury to send Haskins to the bench.

I don’t think this is the last of Haskins but he is going to have to make a big change publicly to find somewhere to play. If by chance this gets to the young man, no more insta, no more twitter. Just put the work in and let your agent do the talking.

Here’s to wishing him well.

THE Washington FOOTBALL Football Team might be the 1st team to cut its 1st rd starting QB during the season for a XFL player& also win the divison while the coach is receiving cancer treatment &their backup is coming back from 13 leg surgerys the same year the team lost its name
