Steelers' Cam Heyward: Ben Roethlisberger Jabs at NFL Players 'Rub Me the Wrong Way'

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward said he disagrees with an assessment from longtime teammate Ben Roethlisberger, who suggested NFL players moved away from a team-first approach during the latter stages of his career.

Big Ben, who retired in January, told Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week the biggest difference in the NFL from when he arrived in 2004 to his departure was how it "turned from a team-first to a me-type attitude."

The Steelers' defensive captain addressed that stance on his Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast, saying the remarks "rub me the wrong way," per ESPN.
