ESPN NFL analyst Adam Schefter broke the news on Saturday of the tragic death of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins in a vehicle accident in Florida. Unfortunately, he did it with a tweet that ruffled a lot of feathers when he noted that Haskins had struggled to catch on in Washington and Pittsburgh after being a first-round pick.
Many considered this insensitive, and the backlash was such that on Monday, Schefter went on his podcast and offered a tribute to Haskins and apologize for the tenor of his tweet. He used this opportunity to remember Haskins the man and the player.
