No one will question that retiring quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a tough player.
He played through a plethora of injuries over 18 years, seen in boots, ice packs, casts and more.
While he was a tough customer, his critics say that he exaggerated injuries at times so he could play the hero when he would ultimately play on Sunday.
To “celebrate” Roethlisberger’s long career of injuries, Barstool Sports has released a shirt featuring Ben with multiple ice packs and walking boot on the front (based on a photo taken at Steelers Training Camp in 2017).
The back of the shirt has a list of all of his ailments through the years.
They include:
Cranial Concussion (x3)
Achilles Pull
Foot Fracture
Nose Fracture
Foot Sprain (x2)
