Outside of the simple mystery of whether or not he will be able to return to play in 2020, arguably the most-discussed topic concerning Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has simply been whether or not he is actually in shape.
Aside from the fact that such a question, once he became injured, immediately became irrelevant for the better part of the next year since he wouldn’t be playing in a game again any time soon, most of our instances of witnessing Roethlisberger have been images of him with a large, bushy beard and wearing appropriately heavy winter clothing that obviously gives the wearer the appearance of greater bulk.
