Rex Ryan putting his foot in his mouth again.
The former NFL Head Coach may have just forgot that Dwayne Haskins is no longer with us, because he made some comments about him today that struck a chord with social media. During an intense back and forth about NY Giants starting QB Daniel Jones, the former head coach made it a point to show just how right heās been on several quarterbacks.
Rex brought up Josh Allen and how he said āBaker Mayfield was overrated as hell.ā
Things then got a little awkward when he brought up Haskins name.
āIām the same guy that said Josh Allen was clearly the best guy in his draft class. And I said, āBaker Mayfield is overrated as hell.ā Remember I said that? And I also said Daniel Jones would be the second quarterback drafted when he came out. Ahead of this guy, this āHaskinsā that everybody raved about, that I knew would struggled in the National Football League.ā

Michael Irvin and Stephen A. Smith made sure to jump with: āGod rest his soul,ā basically to remind Rex that Haskins was deceased.
āI know it ā¦ and I shouldnāt have said it, but..ā
Social media weighed in on Rex’s comments:
Rex Ryan just said Dwayne Haskins was a bust on national tvā¦.

Dwayne Haskins was killed during an accident on I-595 in Florida back in April of this year. According to the toxicology report, he had alcohol levels of .20 and .24, both of which are above the legal limit in Florida of .08.
Rest in peace Haskins.
