It’s been almost five years since Ben Roethlisberger took a snap from Maurkice Pouncey, but their friendship has withstood the test of time. In a recent episode of the Not Just Football podcast with Cam Heyward, Pouncey spoke about their relationship and how it helped to mold him into the man he is today.
“You know, coming from totally different types of backgrounds, right? But then, we have a couple of hiccups at the beginning of our careers. I think he took me under his wing,” explained Pouncey. “He didn’t have to do that for me.”
Both Roethlisberger and Pouncey didn’t have the smoothest starts to their NFL careers.
