PITTSBURGH — Heavy fog early Friday morning obscured the view of Heinz Field on the day the Steelers said goodbye to Dwayne Haskins. At nearby Allegheny Center Alliance Church, a little more than a mile away on the North Side, Steelers players and coaches along with others from across the NFL and college football world came to pay their respects to the Steelers quarterback who died April 9 after being struck and killed on a Florida interstate.
Inside the church, mourners passed by the closed casket that was surrounded by floral arrangements and game jerseys Haskins wore during his football career. His No. 7 jersey from The Bullis School in Potomac, Md., was next to his No. 7 jersey from Ohio State.
On the other side of the casket were his NFL jerseys from the Washington Commanders, the team that selected him in the first round of the draft three years ago, and the Steelers, who signed him last year.
