Tributes poured in on Saturday after 24-year-old Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins was killed after being hit by a vehicle earlier that morning. Most, including a message from Ben Roethlisberger, touched on a common thread: Haskins’s attitude.
“He came to work everyday with a smile on his face and energy and love in his heart,” Roethlisberger wrote. “I really enjoyed his passion and love for the game and wanting to learn and be the best. His smile and zeal for life will be missed!
“Wish we had more time together on this earth, but I will cherish the time and the laughs we had! I’ll say it again just like I told you to your face, I still wish I could throw the ball like you!! Love ya pal.”
