Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made an eye-opening comment about current signal-caller Kenny Pickett during the latest episode of his podcast, Footbahlin With Ben Roethlisberger.
Pickett was featuring as a guest on the podcast episode when Roethlisberger stunningly admitted that he was rooting against the young quarterback when he first arrived in Pittsburgh.
“I wouldn’t say that I wanted Kenny to necessarily fail, but when someone comes to replace you, I still felt like I had it. I hope he doesn’t come and ball out, because then it’s like, ‘Ben who?” said Roethlisberger. “As you started playing, I found myself rooting more and more for you.”
