Now I see what Joey Porter meant when he said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger abuses his power and uses it for him.
It all seriousness, in news that’s pretty minor except for the fact that I have a problem with it, Zach Gentry, a tight end the Steelers just selected in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, said recently that he was asked by Roethlisberger to not wear his college number—No. 83—as a Steeler. This request by Roethlisberger was made as a little ‘shout out’ to Heath Miller, a good friend of Roethlisberger’s and arguably the greatest tight end in Steelers history.
