Several NFL players, past and present, took to social media on Saturday to criticize Adam Schefter for his tweet about Dwayne Haskins’ death.
Haskins, the former Ohio State quarterback who went on to play in the NFL for Washington and Pittsburgh, died on Saturday after getting hit by a dump truck on a Florida highway. He was 24 years old.
Schefter took serious heat for his initial tweet.
How about “ Dwayne Haskins, son, husband, buckeye brother, friend, beloved teammate has passed away” TF his career ups and downs have to do with him unfortunately losing his life🤦🏾♂️ STFU! Let his family & friends grieve instead of throwing shade. Praying for the Haskins family!! pic.twitter.com/gb1D9KcgCQ
