Lolley's Kickoff: Haskins isn't alone in big opportunity against Panthers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- When he joined the Steelers in January, all Dwayne Haskins wanted was a chance to reclaim his stalled NFL career.

The Steelers gave him that chance. What Haskins did with the opportunity was up to him.

Friday night in Charlotte, Haskins will get a chance to prove to his detractors that he is more than the first-round draft pick tossed aside by Washington after just two seasons when he starts the final preseason game for the Steelers against the Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.

Yes, it's a preseason game.
