Among those who ousted Schefter for his anesthesia in announcing Haskins’s death on social media was New England Patriots receiver Jakobi Meyers. Calling Schefter “really weird”, Meyers referred to a tweet that had since been deleted by the veteran journalist: Dwayne Huskins, who stood out in Ohio before struggling to overtake Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL, died this morning when he was hit by a car in South Florida, according to Cedric Saunders’s agent. Haskins would turn 25 on May 3. The tweet about Haskins was not the first time that Shafter showed a lack of sense of the situation. Either he allowed then-Washington CEO Bruce Allen to edit stories – he even called him “Mr. Author “- or by concluding Deshaun Watson’s innocence after the grand jury refused to prosecute, he has repeatedly failed to adhere to either journalistic or ethical standards.
