Advanced Search

Ben Roethlisberger is an American football quarterback, signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL). He started playing football at Findlay High School, and then continued at Miami University. In NFL history, he became the youngest Super Bowl-winning quarterback, and has been one of the most efficient passers. Decorated with an AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, and a five-time winner of Pro Bowl, he first rose to fame after he led the Steelers to a 21-10 victory against Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL at the young age of 23. He also led the Steelers to a second Super Bowl title soon after. Currently, he ranks 9th all-time in NFL passer rating, and holds the fourth highest career winning percentage. Ben admires former football quarterback John Elway, and wears No. 7 jersey in his honor. He has been nicknamed Big Ben because he has a big built that is unusual for quarterbacks. Apart from football, he has started a foundation to support the police and fire departments in the US, and to boost the quality of life of residents of Ohio and Pittsburgh. He recently said that he would take out some time to evaluate all aspects of his life like his health, family, and career.
