Colin Cowherd has landed himself in hot water after including the late Dwayne Haskins in a segment on FS1's The Herd.
On Tuesday's show, Cowherd was discussing various quarterbacks who can't win a Super Bowl, and included Haskins, who died in April 2022 after being struck by a dump truck on a South Florida highway.
Other names on the list were quarterbacks such as Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields, Paxton Lynch, Josh Rosen, Carson Wentz, and EJ Manuel.
“The third category is 20 guys who are not getting to a Super Bowl, and certainly not winning it. And that’s everybody else. From Baker Mayfield, Teddy Bridgewater, Dwayne Haskins, guys that are just not..." Cowherd said before pointing out that the graphic mistakenly identified the list as QBs who "can" win Super Bowls rather than "can't."
However, Cowherd overlooked the fact that the list included the late Haskins.
A medical examiner determined last year that Haskins, a backup quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers when he passed away, tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, while also having a blood alcohol level of .24, at the time of the fatal crash. The autopsy ruled the 24-year-old’s death as an accident, with the cause listed as “multiple blunt force injuries.”
“I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said in a statement at the time. “He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken.”
