Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett refuted a rumor he objected to being the backup to Mason Rudolph in what proved to be a 30-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
Mark Madden of 105.9 The X in Pittsburgh reported Monday that Pickett "100 percent refused to be the backup."
Pickett addressed the story Tuesday and said the narrative amounted to "attacking my character and how I am as a person."
Brooke Pryor @bepryorQB Kenny Pickett opens his availability this morning by saying the rumors that he refused to dress against Seattle if he wasn't starting aren't true.
