With his initial post, Adam Schefter got a negative reaction out of many prominent athletes — including Lamar Jackson and Damian Lillard.
While many people were calling for ESPN to suspend Schefter, it’s unclear if they’ll be taking that action at this time.
RIP to Dwayne Haskins and prayers to his family.
