Kenny Pickett was drafted to be the successor to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh, but that doesn't mean the Steelers legend was a fan at first.
With Pickett appearing on the latest episode of the Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger podcast, Roethlisberger admitted (starting at the 1:30:00 mark) that he wasn't rooting for Pickett to have success right away as a rookie.
"Early on, I didn't want him to succeed 'cause I didn't want, he followed me up. I didn't want it to happen. I think that's probably the selfishness in me, and I feel bad for it.
