Dwayne Haskins was struck and killed in a tragic incident along a South Florida highway over the weekend and his death resonated across the NFL world.

The former Washington and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback came into the NFL before the start of the 2019 season. He was Washington’s first-round pick of the 2019 draft and started 13 games for the team between 2019 and 2020. He was let go after the 2020 season and was signed by the Steelers before the 2021 season. He served primarily in the backup role.

Michael Irvin, a former Dallas Cowboys legend who serves as an analyst for the NFL Network and continues to watch the team closely, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he only met Haskins maybe once and felt "badly" when he heard the news of the quarterback’s passing.

"I felt so badly when I heard that news. I felt badly when I watched some of the things that went down with him in the few years he had in the NFL. I thought he was thrown in a tough situation in Washington. It’s a tough situation," Irvin said.

Irvin, who recently became an investor in the education platform TradeZing, said he was hoping Haskins was going to continue to develop and progress back into a starting quarterback.
