“Rest in peace to my brother Dwayne, baby. We love you, man.”

After catching a four-yard touchdown pass in the New Orleans Breakers’ 34-3 win over the Tampa Bay Bandits on Sunday evening, former Ohio State wide receiver Johnnie Dixon took a moment to honor late quarterback Dwayne Haskins.

“I love you, Dwayne,” a mic’d up Dixon said after securing the catch in the end zone. “Rest in peace to my brother Dwayne, baby. We love you, man.”

Dixon caught 42 passes for 669 yards and eight touchdowns with Haskins as his quarterback in 2018, including a career-high seven receptions for 129 yards and one score in a win over Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game.

His latest touchdown comes on a weekend in which multiple funeral services were held for Haskins, who was stuck and killed by a vehicle on a South Florida highway earlier this month.

Dixon finished the game with five catches for 41 yards and the one touchdown, brining his total to nine receptions for 78 yards and one score in two games for the undefeated Breakers this season.
