Ben Roethlisberger Compares, Contrasts Own Rookie Season Situation To Kenny Pickett’s

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger now has a new podcast so we can now look forward to listening to it every week. The inaugural episode of his new podcast dropped on Sunday and as expected, the recently retired quarterback delivered several tasty soundbites that are sure to fuel conversations in the media this coming week. During one particular portion of the first episode, Roethlisberger was asked about his great 2004 rookie season and if it will now lead to added pressure being put on Steelers’ rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett to match or exceed it.

Specifically, Roethlisberger was asked if he thinks his own rookie season is going to fuel the competitive spirit in Pickett, or if he thinks that’s something that could potentially be detrimental to the rookie first round draft pick out of Pittsburgh.
