The Pittsburgh Steelers will be adorning a new sticker on their helmets to honor their late quaterback Dwayne Haskins Jr.
All players will have a yellow sticker with Haskins’ number, 3, on their helmets for the rest of the year in his memory. Haskins died in April after getting hit by a dump truck in Florida. He had played with the Steelers since 2021.
Steelers Director of Communications Burt Lauten announced the sticker along with a picture in a tweet Friday.
