Dwayne Haskins struck by car and killed

This is absolutely horrible.  Truly tragic.  So young, and from what I read, seemed like he was coming into his own with the Steelers.  Well-liked and had a chance to compete for the starting role this season.  And he was a beast in college...  

I read the updated story said he tried to cross the 595 interstate, and I just never understand that.  There is almost absolutely ZERO reason I would ever attempt to cross a interstate on foot, EVER.  And especially at night.  Walk along the shoulder until you get to an overpass if you have to get to the other side.  Not speaking ill of Haskins, but just with anything in life, if the risk far outweighs the reward, why do it?  It's so sad.  Thoughts with his family.  This sucks.

Yes, let's being color into it when no reason at all to shall we. Absolutely not one single mention of color in Brandt's very stupid shitty remarks. Basically he took a dump out his mouth and you followed up by taking a dump out yours. Only difference is that old fool is successful and you are not. Are you one of the tinderbox mafia? By all means head there and go join that circle jerk.

I don't get it either. Why even attempt to cross an interstate? Call a friend, call triple a, call an Uber and figure your car situation out tomorrow, heck doesn't the NFL have a hot line for this kind of stuff (mostly for being drunk tho).

Regardless tho RIP, prayers to the family.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
