DWAYNE HASKINS' FINAL INSTAGRAM POST IS CHILLING
By AMANDA RAY BYERLY
Hearts broke when Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins was fatally struck by a dump truck in South Florida. "I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins," Pittsburgh's head coach Mike Tomlin stated.
"'It is what it is' will keep you at peace," Haskins posted to his Instagram Story in what would be his last social media post. Before that, Haskins posted much lighter social media content, including a video where he was joking and laughing with fellow Steeler and running back Najee Harris.
Following Haskins' death, fans and colleagues took to social media to pay tribute to the late athlete, including retired quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. "He came to work everyday with a smile on his face and energy and love in his heart," Roethlisberger wrote about Haskins.
Sports executive Gil Brandt has faced backlash for his comments on Haskins' death, saying "I hate anytime anybody is killed or anybody dies. But he was a guy that was living to be dead." He added, "Maybe if he stayed in school a year he wouldn't do silly things ... [like] jogging on a highway."
