Senior NFL draft analyst Gil Brandt has come under fire for his comments on the tragic death of NFL star Dwayne Haskins.

In an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio, Brandt said, “I hate every time someone dies or someone dies. But he was a guy who lived to be dead.”

“They told him, under no circumstances, to leave school early. He just doesn’t have the work habits. You don’t have this, you don’t have that. What did he do? He left school early ».

He concluded: “Maybe if he stayed in school for a year he wouldn’t do silly things like jogging on a highway.”

After drawing criticism, he apologized for his comments on his official Twitter page, where saying: “This morning upon learning of the passing of Dwayne Haskins, I reacted carelessly and insensitively in a radio interview.”

“I want to apologize to Mr. Haskins’ family and to anyone who may have heard my poor choice of words. I really apologize. My heart goes out to his family at this difficult time.”

Haskins tragically died after being hit by a dump truck just weeks after signing a new contract, the Pittsburgh Steelers confirmed.

The quarterback was killed Saturday morning while attempting to cross I-95 on foot around 7 a.m. in Boca Raton, south of Palm Beach, Florida, where the team trains.
