Pouncey On Big Ben’s Absence: ‘I’m Pretty Sure He Doesn’t Need To Throw A Curl Route’

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was not just present, but vocal, active, and jovial for the first session of OTAs last week. He even joked that his good friend, center Maurkice Pouncey, would never let him hear the end of it if he skipped out. Apparently he just meant for the one day, because he hasn’t been back since, and Pouncey doesn’t mind.

He’s 15 years in now. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t need to throw a curl route, you know what I mean?”, he told Jacob Klinger when asked about Roethlisberger’s comment about him on the first day of OTAs and the fact that he has not been here since then.
