At the time of his retirement in January 2022, there seemed to be some tense moments between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger as the veteran quarterback felt like he could still play and offer something to the team moving forward.
But in the years since, that animosity has disappeared and Roethlisberger is at peace with his time on the field being up.
Appearing on the Steven Weathercroft podcast on YouTube with the former PGA Tour golfer, Roethlisberger stated that he knew his time was up due to the age gap with teammates, and is enjoying his time now as a father and a husband, knowing that he had his time on the field and now gets to do what he loves most: being a family man.
