Ben Roethlisberger admitted on his podcast he rooted against rookie Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett at the beginning of the 2022 season. Pickett, who was a guest on the most recent episode of 'Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger,' replaced the 18-year veteran this past season after Roethlisberger retired from the league and Pittsburgh drafted Pickett with the No. 20 pick a few months later.
KANSAS CITY, MO - JANUARY 16: Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger before an AFC wild card playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs on Jan 16, 2022 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO. Ben Roethlisberger admitted on his podcast he rooted against rookie Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett at the beginning of the 2022 season.
As a reminder, Roethlisberger won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2004, made six Pro Bowls and won two Super Bowls during his time with the Steelers. He also ranks fifth all-time in career passing yards, eighth all-time in career passing touchdowns and tops Pittsburgh's franchise records in passing yards and passing touchdowns by wide margins. His career would be difficult to forget, especially after just one season.
Pickett, meanwhile, had an OK rookie season. He sat behind Mitchell Trubisky for the first three games before he entered a Week 4 game against the New York Jets. Pickett threw two interceptions and zero touchdowns but scored two rushing touchdowns in a 20-24 loss. But as Pickett's season progressed, Roethlisberger said he switched from hater to supporter and later called Pickett"the future of this team."
