Today is Easter Sunday, but it also marks a somber day for Pittsburgh Steelers fans. Exactly one year ago former Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins lost his life at the age of just 24. Entering his second full offseason with the team, he had hopes of competing for a return to the starting lineup as the organization marked a changeover at the quarterback position with the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger.
The New Jersey-born Haskins was raised in the outskirts of Washington D.C. where he would spend most of his professional football career. He was drafted in the first round by the Washington Commanders in 2019, 15th overall, following a successful stint at Ohio State University.
