Hall of Fame Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw believes that Ben Roethlisberger is a first ballot Hall of Famer, but says he doesn’t have much of a relationship with him.
Speaking recently on the Rich Eisen Show, Bradshaw said that Roethlisberger’s legacy in Pittsburgh is part of an amazing career.
Bradshaw recognized that that “Big Ben” broke every record that Bradshaw had during his time with the Steelers, except for one.
“He owns every record there is in the book, the only thing he doesn’t have is two more Super Bowls to tie my four Super Bowls, but outside of that, he’s got it all,” said Bradshaw.
Bradshaw continued to talk up Roethlisberger’s career talked about his “off-field” struggles but got his life together, being married with three kids.
He added that he doesn’t know Roethlisberger “well at all” and that he’s texted him a few times in the past and just once this year after his retirement, but Ben didn’t get back.
“Very easier could’ve not have gotten it . . . no big deal, probably got millions of texts but I didn’t lose any sleep on it,” said Bradshaw.
Bradshaw also talked about Roethlisberger’s toughness and said he would even take Ben over Tom Brady, saying that he’s always been around talent, where Ben didn’t always have the best team around him.
