Pittsburgh Steelers to honor late Dwayne Haskins with a helmet decal | Reactions
The Steelers' senior director of communications announced via Twitter Friday morning that the team will be wearing a No. 3 sticker on their helmets throughout the 2022 season to honor late teammate Dwyane Haskins. Haskins, 24, was fatally struck by a dump truck on a Florida highway in April.

Haskins was picked up by the Steelers in January 2021 after being released by the Commanders. Although he didn’t play a snap that season, the Steelers had resigned Haskins for the year following.
The quarterback was a standout for Ohio State and was a Heisman Trophy finalist as a redshirt freshman in 2018. Haskins was also the Big Ten’s Graham-George Offensive Player of the Year and Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year that season.
Here are some reactions to the news:
Conflicted Ohio State football fans happy
Hate the Steelers, love the Buckeyes. This is a pretty cool gesture.

Bummed he never got a chance to redeem himself after the Washington incident. He could have possibly been starting for us this year
