Steelers' Minkah Fitzpatrick: Someone 'Upstairs' Chose To Put Antwon Rose's Name On Helmets

The Antwon Rose social justice helmet sticker drama in Pittsburgh took another turn on Thursday when safety Minkah Fitzpatrick said the sticker decision "came from upstairs." Fitzpatrick told Pittsburgh Tribune-Review sports reporter Chris Adamski that the players "briefly" discussed the name that would appear on their helmets this season.

"We talked briefly about it, but it was mostly made by people upstairs," Fitzpatrick said. "Don’t know exactly who. Don’t know exactly how. We knew we were going to have somebody on the back of our helmets. It wasn’t exactly clear who it was going to be."

“It was mostly made by everyone upstairs.” It's unclear who "everyone upstairs" is referring to and the Steelers have yet to make it known who ultimately made the decision to honor Rose.
