Cardale Jones wrapped up his football career at Ohio State in 2015. Dwayne Haskins enrolled at the school for the following season, eventually becoming the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback, a Heisman finalist and a first-round NFL draft pick.
While the two never overlapped in school, Jones made it clear at an Ohio State candlelight vigil for Haskins, who was struck by a dump truck and killed on Saturday morning, that they shared a bond as Buckeyes.
During his speech, Jones praised Haskins’s character, while taking a swipe at some unnamed media outlets who were critical of the late quarterback’s career in the hours after his death.
