Adam Schefter's original tweet creates a lot of controversy after a wrong choice of words

On Saturday morning, Adam Schefter, ESPN NFL insider, was the first to inform the tragic death of 24-year-old quarterback Dwayne Haskins. 

Schefter's original tweet described that the former Ohio State QB died when he was knocked by a car in South Florida — but it also contained an unnecessarily negative comment about the QB's NFL career. In his original tweet, Schefter wrote:

"Dwayne Haskins, a standout at Ohio State before struggling to catch on with Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL, died this morning when he got hit by a car in South Florida, per his agent Cedrick Saunders. Haskins would have turned 25 years old on May 3."

Many commentators, analysts, and fans objected to his use of words to describe Haskins NFL career as a struggling one, which forced the ESPN analyst to delete it and offer a more diplomatic and prudent message in his next take.
