Dwayne Haskins Cause Of Death: What Happened To Dwayne Haskins?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died on April 9, 2022, after being hit by a car in south Florida. He was aged 24.

Dwayne Haskins joined the Steelers before the 2021 season and looked to be in the mix to battle for the starting quarterback job this season after the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger.

Dwayne Haskins was selected by the Washington Redskins in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft but was released after less than two seasons.

He signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers the following season and was on the team’s roster when he was fatally struck by a car during the 2022 off-season.

Born in Highland Park, New Jersey, Haskins, and his family moved to Potomac, Maryland, when he was in the ninth grade.

There, he attended and played football at Bullis School from 2013–2016, where he passed for 5,308 yards and 54 touchdowns.

He originally committed to the University of Maryland over Rutgers University to play college football, but later decided to attend Ohio State after Maryland football coach Randy Edsall was fired mid-season.

Haskins redshirted his first year at Ohio State in 2016. The following year, he was the backup to J. T. Barrett.

He finished the season completing 40 of 57 passes for 565 yards and four touchdowns.
