PITTSBURGH -- The locker room was fairly calm when Ben Roethlisberger walked out of it Friday afternoon.
A few minutes later, Drake blared from Cam Heyward's corner. Defensive backs in the area broke out various Fortnite dances before Heyward switched up the pace with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
That the needle dropped when the quarterback departed was no coincidence.
"You've got to respect what he wants," Darrius Heyward-Bey said. "He's not here, it's party time."
There's an unwritten rule in the Steelers locker room that Roethlisberger works to protect -- no blaring loud music during core business hours.
