Switzer, Conner Take To Twitter To Defend Roethlisberger

While Ben Roethlisberger has certainly been painted in an unflattering light for most of the offseason, his current teammates continue to publicly have his back. Add Ryan Switzer and James Conner to the list.

Both players responded to a tweet I shared yesterday, a clip of Big Ben mic’d up against the Carolina Panthers last year. In it, he pulls Jaylen Samuels aside to congratulate him after scoring his first career touchdown, a six yard reception late in the blowout win.

One clip that popped into my mind with all the talk about Ben Roethlisberger's lack of leadership.
