Ben Roethlisberger has already made more money in his NFL career than he will probably know how to spend. The 15-year veteran has generated generational wealth for his family. He is 37 years old, and is preparing for yet another season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, seemingly as passionate about playing as he has ever been to get out on the field.
It’s exactly that passion that keeps him coming back, as he told Kurt Warner yesterday during an interview for the NFL Network. He joked, or rather half-joked, that “signing a three-year contract” was also part of keeping him coming back, but he really cited “the love of the game” as the reason that retirement thoughts are always put on the backburner at this time of year.
