Mason Rudolph denies using racial slur at Myles Garrett: 'I would not utter a racial slur'

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is pushing back against Myles Garrett. Rudolph responded Saturday to accusations that he directed a racial slur at Garrett that kicked off a brawl between the Steelers and Cleveland Browns in November. Rudolph called it a “bold-faced lie,” among other things.

Rudolph also said he “would not utter a racial slur.”

1000% False.

Bold-Faced Lie.

I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur.

This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character. https://t.co/mZcEcC0tCl— Mason Rudolph (@Rudolph2Mason) February 15, 2020
