The Pittsburgh Steelers are working furiously toward Thursday’s first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
It takes several departments a ton of work over several months to help build the team’s internal draft board and prioritize some players and positions over others.
It’s a fine-tuned, unified machine for the Steelers, and a former Pittsburgh quarterback thinks he’d like to join that team.
On his Footbahlin podcast recently, two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger revealed he’d like to help the Steelers in the scouting department, and thinks his experience and insight could be a valuable asset to the organization.
“I would love to go to a game and watch it, like a live game,” Roethlisberger said. “Like, I would just watch that player. Look at him when he comes off the field. Does he sit on the bench and pout? Does he go sit down, is he throwing his hands up and blaming other people, or is he like, my bad?”
Roethlisberger continued and offered some somewhat generic analysis of a few of the quarterbacks available in this week’s draft, saying Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart has a “gunslinger” mentality and Ohio State’s Will Howard is a “winner.”
It’ll take a little more than that for Big Ben to be of any value to the Pittsburgh scouting department.
Maybe Roethlisberger can actually help his former team, or maybe he’s just bored and needs a new hobby.
