What a tragedy. Investiga- tors are trying to piece to- gether what led up to 24-year-old NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins being struck by a truck as he was walking Saturday morning on Interstate 595 in Broward County.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Haskins died on the westbound lanes of I-595 near the Fort Laud- erdale-Hollywood Interna- tional Airport. The driver of the dump truck that troopers believe struck him waited for authorities to arrive.
Steelers Depot reported Haskins in South Florida staying in southern Palm Beach County with running back Najee Harris, tight end Pat Freiermuth, and quarterback Mitch Tru- bisky, who owns a house just west of Boca Raton.

Haskins’ last posts on In- stagram showed him enjoying the South Florida sun at a pool in April and at St. Thomas in the Caribbean in March. NFL players re- sponded Saturday after Haskins’ agent Cedric Saunders told ESPN he died.
‘HEARTBROKEN’ Steelers coach Mike Tomlin: “I am devastated

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.”
Washington coach Ron Rivera: “Dwayne was a tal- ented young man who had a long life ahead of him. This is a very sad time and I am hon- estly at a loss for words. I know I speak for the rest of our team in saying he will be sorely missed. Our entire team is sending our heartfelt condolences and thoughts and prayers to the Haskins family at this time.”

The Los Angeles Rams proved they won't leave any stone unturned in free agency, as the team brought former Seahawks signed line- backer Bobby Wagner to a five-year $50 million deal.
