Was Dwayne Haskins In A Car When He Died? How Did Haskins Get Hit?

Dwayne Haskins was in South Florida for personal work outs at FAU with his Steelers teammates, when he was tragically hit by a car in South Florida.

Haskins was set to turn 25 on May 3.

Haskins had a standout sophomore season at Ohio State, setting a number of school records after completing 70 percent of his passes for 4,831 yards and a whopping 50 touchdowns.

That performance earned him a number of accolades, including first team All–Big Ten honors, the Graham–George Offensive Player of the Year award, and the Griese–Brees Quarterback of the Year award.

Haskins was also named the 2018 Big Ten Football Championship Game MVP and the 2019 Rose Bowl MVP.

The quarterback naturally rocketed up draft lists, and he was ultimately selected by Washington with the 15th-overall pick in the 2019 draft.

Expectations were high for Haskins; he was even granted permission to wear the (unofficially) retired jersey number of legend Joe Theismann.

Despite the fanfare, head coach Jay Gruden decided to roll with Case Keenum as his starting quarterback heading into the 2019 campaign.

Haskins eventually found his way into the lineup, starting seven of his nine appearances. Washington went 2-5 in his seven starts, with the QB completing 58.6 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns vs. seven interceptions.

Haskins entered the 2020 season as the starter and a team captain, but he was benched prior to Week 5 for poor play.
