After leading the Pittsburgh Steelers on offense for nearly the last two decades, Roethlisberger has cemented his legacy in the NFL. He has played in three Super Bowls, winning two of them, and ranks fifth all-time in pass completions and passing yards, eighth in passing touchdowns, and sixth all-time in postseason victories. Since the NFL doesn’t allow a first-ballot Hall of Famer to enshrined until he has been retired for at least five seasons before being elected, Roethlisberger will be first up as a potential candidate for the HOF Class of 2027.
Still, the question was raised on the latest edition of The Terrible Podcast with Dave Bryan and Alex Kozora whether any other former Pittsburgh Steelers player may make the Hall of Fame before Ben’s name comes eligible for the 2027 class.
