Haskins was only 24 years old. He was selected by Washington in the 2019 NFL Draft and signed with Pittsburgh in January 2021 before his tragic passing.
As reported by ESPN's Brooke Pryor, the funeral ended with a moving release of three doves.
"On a heartbreaking day in Pittsburgh, Dwayne Haskins' funeral ended with a moving release of three white doves on the steps in front of the church as How Great Is Our God played. Those gathered to honor Haskins surrounded his casket and stood on the steps holding yellow roses."
