The Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger Makes His Retirement Official

We knew it was coming and it has. Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has formally announced that 2021 was his final season as a professional football player. A video message, tweeted from his personal account and then from the Steelers makes known what was inevitable.

I would expect that at some point over the next couple of weeks or months that there will be a more ceremonial retirement announcement.
