It’s the most important position on the football field. NFL teams invest millions upon millions of dollars to employ the best quarterbacks to run their offense to have a greatest chance of success. Although championships have been won with less-than-stellar quarterback play, they are more the exception than the rule. There are very few NFL teams that feel they can make a push for a championship without a high-quality quarterback.
Since 2004, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had such a quarterback. Drafted with the 11th overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft, Ben Roethlisberger was thrust into action in his second regular-season NFL game and never looked back.
