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?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roethlisberger continued and offered some somewhat generic analysis of a few of the quarterbacks available in this week&#8217;s draft, saying\u00a0Ole Miss&#8217;\u00a0Jaxson Dart\u00a0has a &#8220;gunslinger&#8221; mentality and\u00a0Ohio State&#8217;s Will Howard is a &#8220;winner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll take a little more than that for Big Ben to be of any value to the Pittsburgh scouting department.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Roethlisberger can actually help his former team, or maybe he&#8217;s just bored and needs a new hobby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback reveals he wants to reunite with the club and help out in the scouting department.
