Haskins, 24, was in South Florida to train with other Steelers generals, with backs and wide receivers. The accident happened around 6:37 a.m. at I-595 West at junction I-95 outside Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to the Florida Freeway Patrol. Haskins was killed in the crash, but officials did not say why he was walking on the highway, said Lt. Indiana Miranda, a spokeswoman for the Highway Patrol. “He was just walking on the highway and he was hit,” Miranda said. The driver “is in full cooperation” with the investigation, he told The Post. The former Ohio State leader has been in the NFL since 2019, first with Washington and then as a fourth full back with the Steelers. The Steelers re-signed him this season with a one-year contract worth $ 2.5 million. “I am devastated and have no words for the unfortunate death of Dwayne Huskins,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement. “He quickly became a member of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers both on the pitch and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a formidable friend to many. I’m really cracked. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Calabria, and his entire family at this difficult time.” Dwayne Haskins was killed while walking.

To say we are cracked is derogatory. Our hearts and prayers are with the members of the Dwayne family and all those who knew and loved him. “ Before making the league, the New Jersey native led the State of Ohio to the Rose Bowl in the 2018-19 season, defeating Washington in Urban Meyer’s last game as coach. He also made a one-season Big Ten record for passing yards (4,831), touchdowns (50) and total offensive yards (4,939) and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. “The Ohio State Department Department of Sports was deeply saddened to learn of Dwayne Huskins’s death on Saturday morning,” the Ohio State Department said in a statement. “We are thinking of the whole Hoskins family at this difficult time. “Our prayers are with his family and with his current and former teammates, coaches, friends and relatives.” Memorable, Haskins came off the bench in 2017 when JT Barrett was injured in the middle of a fight at Ann Arbor to lead the Buckeyes to a win over Michigan. That seemed to set Haskins on his way to the star, but when he got to the NFL, Washington had problems with his work ethic and repeated COVID-19 violations. At the end of the 2020 season, he stayed on the bench of Taylor Heinicke before being released.
