Earlier this month, the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered through the tragedy of losing one of their own. While returning home from working out with teammates in Florida, fourth-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins was struck and killed by a vehicle while attempting to cross a highway, purportedly after having run out of fuel.
The incident has left a hole in the lives of those who knew him, and in Pittsburgh, perhaps nobody knew him better than wide receiver Steven Sims, who spent the 2021 season on the Steelers’ practice squad while Haskins was on the 53-man roster. Both of them came to Washington in 2019, the quarterback via the first round out of Ohio State, the latter as a college free agent via Kansas.
