ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter formally apologized Monday for a tweet he deleted Saturday regarding the death of Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Schefter was the first to report his death, but added that the 24-year-old struggled to “catch on” in the NFL in the same tweet.
Schefter was heavily criticized for the tweet, ultimately deleting and rewording it. On Monday, the insider apologized for his tweet on The Adam Schefter Podcast.
“It was insensitive, it was a mistake, and I can assure you is not my intention,” he said on his podcast.
