Kordell Stewart opens up about the rumor that haunted his Steelers career for 28 years in new documentary

It was 28 years ago when Kordell Stewart, the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, got a phone call from a friend who was curious to ask him a question following a stop at the barbershop.

The friend told him people at the barbershop were saying he was arrested at Schenley Park in Pittsburgh on charges of participating in a lewd act with a trans woman. Within hours, he was being contacted by former teammates and others in cities like San Francisco, Atlanta and Indianapolis.

It was a rumor – nothing more than that.
