Myles Garrett has doubled down on his assertion that Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph directed a racial slur at him, leading to the brawl that resulted in Garrett’s suspension.
In a radio teaser promotion for a longer sit-down interview that will broadcast on Saturday, Garrett told ESPN’s Mina Kimes that, “he called me the N-word.”
Garrett continued,
“He called me a ‘stupid N-word.’”
The Browns defensive end had initially made the claim of the racial slur in the days after the mid-November brawl, which came at the end of the Browns win over Pittsburgh. Garrett elaborated that Rudolph used the slur after he took the QB to the ground as Rudolph threw a pass with under 20 seconds remaining in the game.
Rudolph previously denied saying any such word.
