PITTSBURGH — I can only imagine the sad scene Monday at the Steelers' South Side headquarters. It was the first day for everybody — the front-office staff, coaches, scouts, support people and some of the players — to gather together since the shocking death Saturday morning of Dwayne Haskins.
You know what it must have been like inside the facility at 3400 South Water St. There had to be plenty of tears over the loss of a good teammate and good friend, who died unexpectedly much too soon with so much life ahead. There probably were a few smiles at the memory of the shared good times with Haskins, a personable young man by all accounts. There certainly were a lot of hugs meant to provide comfort and support to each other at a very difficult time.
All in all, a brutal day.
