Colts WR Parris Campbell Wears Shirt Commemorating Ex-Buckeyes Teammate Dwayne Haskins
Ex-Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell paid tribute to Dwayne Haskins, his former Buckeyes quarterback, who tragically died in April 2022. Haskins was 24.
Spotted ahead of a Monday Night Football game between the Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers, Campbell was warming up on the field with a custom shirt displaying Haskins in his Buckeyes uniform.
After a stellar final season under former Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer — throwing for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions — Haskins was drafted No. 15 by Washington in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Touted for his arm strength and accuracy, he was predicted as one of the premier QBs coming out of college that year. Haskins even drew attention from the New York Giants that draft, who selected Duke's Daniel Jones sixth overall.
