Dwayne Haskins’ tragic death over the weekend sparked a flurry of reactions across the sports world. Haskins was killed early Saturday morning when he was struck by a dump truck while walking across a South Florida highway, officials said. Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Indiana Miranda said Haskins was pronounced dead at the scene.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Michael Irvin gave his heartbreaking take on Haskins tragically losing his life.
“I felt so badly when I heard that news,” Irvin told Fox News Digital. “I felt badly when I watched some of the things that went down with him in the few years he had in the NFL. I thought he was thrown in a tough situation in Washington. It’s a tough situation.”
The Dallas Cowboys legend added that Haskins had so much time left to reach his full potential.
“There’s a lot of pressure put on quarterbacks coming into this league, and the quarterback has to carry this mantra, and it’s a difficult mantra to carry. They expect you to be a certain way and lead a bunch of grown men, and I thought he needed a little more time. He could have developed into all that he wanted to be in the National Football League. I just hate that his time got cut short, and I’m praying for his family and his friends.”
Haskins appeared to be in South Florida over the course of the week practicing with Steelers teammates Mitchell Trubisky, running back Najee Harris, and tight end Pat Freiermuth.
At Ohio State, Haskins threw for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns during the 2018 season. He was then selected by Washington in the 2019 NFL Draft.
