One of the most noticeable things early in the 2024 NFL season is that QB play just hasn’t been as good as in past seasons, and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger attributes it to the college game. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Roethlisberger said that quarterbacks not getting in a huddle and not playing from under center as often in college has impacted their play when they get to the next level.
“I think that the college game potentially is hurting quarterbacks. There’s something to be said about getting in a huddle and looking your guys in the eye,” Roethlisberger said.
