Part 1: Rashard Mendenhall on Going from Southside Chicago to Drafted by Steelers in 1st Round
--------
Rashard Mendenhall, a former Pittsburgh Steelers player, shed some light on the contentious relationship between wide receiver Antonio Brown and his then-fellow teammate Ben Roethlisberger. Mendenhall claimed he witnessed a power dynamic where Big Ben had the ability to decide the career trajectory of others, and it caused distress among other Steelers players. Mendenhall highlighted Antonio Brown's love for football, suggesting that the assumption Brown simply "stopped showing up to practice for no reason" was flawed. Later, Mendenhall passionately explained his role in defending Brown during turbulent times, reflecting on his tweet where he compared Brown's treatment to slavery. His tweet was meant to provoke thought about the power dynamics and relationships within the NFL rather than accusing any particular person or entity of racism. Throughout the conversation, Mendenhall highlighted the importance of understanding the full context of a situation before forming judgments.
