He was selected by the Steelers in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft, and quickly became the team's starting quarterback. In his rookie season, he led the Steelers to a 15-1 record and an appearance in the AFC Championship game.

He has also been named the Steelers' team MVP four times. Roethlisberger has been a key part of the Steelers' success over the years, helping the team win two Super Bowls in 2006 and 2009.
Despite his success on the field, Roethlisberger has faced some off-field challenges. In 2010, he was accused of sexual assault by a woman in Georgia, but the charges were eventually dropped. In 2018, he was accused of sexual assault by another woman, but he denied the allegations and was not charged.
Roethlisberger has also faced injury issues throughout his career. He suffered a serious motorcycle accident in 2006 that left him with a broken jaw and other injuries.

Despite his age, Roethlisberger remains one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. He has shown no signs of slowing down and continues to be a key part of the Steelers' success. With his size, strength, and mobility, he is a difficult player to defend against, and he has proven time and again that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
