I don’t think it’s really any secret by now that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his offensive linemen are close. And by his offensive linemen, I’m not talking about just this current group. I’m talking about pretty much every lineman he’s played with. He’s still very close with Willie Colon, for example.
It was at some point last season I believe that Maurkice Pouncey said—presumably somewhat jokingly—that when Roethlisberger goes, he is going too. Roethlisberger is 35. Pouncey will only turn 28 in July, and he still has a few years left on his contract.
