As a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the last three seasons, interior offensive lineman JC Hassenauer has had a unique relationship with legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
From starting in a pinch due to injuries, or coming into the game cold off the bench in recent seasons, Hassenauer has had to be the guy right away at center at times, inserting himself into a situation where Roethlisberger has expected things a certain way from his center and offensive line leader for the last 18 seasons, from guys like Jeff Hartings and Justin Hartwig, to Maurkice Pouncey for so many seasons, to rookie Kendrick Green this season.
