Ben Roethlisberger started his Father’s Day in typical fashion — with his children bombarding him in bed with hugs and presents.
Or as his wife, Ashley, deemed it, “cute little cuddle moments.”
But how the Steelers quarterback spent the rest of his day differed from the usual. He wrapped up his 10th Ben Roethlisberger Football Procamp, a two-day affair Sunday at Bethel Park High School, including throwing passes to each of the about 400 first- through eighth-grade youths.
Roethlisberger said these hands-on, personal moments with the campers are an important aspect of his camp, as he knows some other professional athletes don’t hang around from start to finish of their camps.
