“I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Tomlin https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1512816701485821960″>said.

“He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.”

Haskins, 24, died in a car accident in Florida on Saturday morning. He was in Florida training with some Steelers teammates in a session organized by fellow quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Haskins, Trubisky and Mason Rudolph had been expected to compete for the team’s starting quarterback role this season.
