When Adam Schefter sent out his “insensitive” tweet breaking the news of Dwayne Haskins tragic death, former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones was one of the first to react.
On Tuesday, Jones attended a vigil for the late Buckeye star. And when it was his turn to speak he called out the sports media for some of their “bogus” comments about Haskins’ character and career shortly after his passing.
