Few players, let along quarterbacks specifically, have had a career like Ben Roethlisberger’s. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round in 2004, he would helm the team for the next 18 seasons, bringing them to the playoffs 12 times and claiming a couple of championships along the way.
While he is obviously proud of the victories and the trophies that came along with his tenure, no doubt Roethlisberger personally defines his own legacy by the fact that he was able to do all of that playing for the one and only franchise he’d ever known, and that they built that relationship that lasted nearly two decades.
