Kendrick Green ‘Excited’ To See What Happens At QB, But Will Miss Ben Roethlisberger: ‘He Definitely Helped Me Out’

Ben Roethlisberger’s career in the NFL is over after 18 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Season 18 was season one for Kendrick Green, the 2021 third-round draft pick out of Illinois, who snapped the ball to the future Hall of Famer for his final season, wearing the same jersey number as nine-time Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey, who preceded him.

Like with the center position last year, there are no successors at quarterback for the Steelers, though there are theoretical options. Mason Rudolph is currently the only quarterback under contract for the upcoming season, but that will change over the coming months.
