As was expected with his hint at retirement earlier in the week, Pittsburgh Steelers’ future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is starting to garner some praise for his legendary career on the field.
On Thursday, it was ESPN analyst and former New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, and New York Jets offensive lineman Damien Woody who took the time to shower Roethlisberger with praise, calling him one of the true warriors of the QB position in NFL history.
Appearing on ESPN’s First Take on Thursday, Woody, along with fellow co-host Sam Acho — who once sacked Roethlisberger as a member of the Arizona Cardinals — took the time to put a cap on Roethlisberger’s career after the 18-year quarterback stated that Monday’s matchup against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field is likely the final time he’ll play in front of the home fans.
