When did Ben Roethlisberger get drafted

Ben Roethlisberger is a well-known quarterback in the National Football League. The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up Roethlisberger in 2004 after his drafting onto the team by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. It is unclear, however, how much information Goodell had about Roethlisberger’s attitude or his abilities at the time of the draft. The Atlanta Falcons drafted Roethlisberger in 2002 with the hope that he would become their franchise player. 

The hope soon became a reality as Roethlisberger was seen not only as a talented quarterback but a leader off the field. Pittsburgh, however, swooped in and claimed this exceptional young man from the Falcons. It was then that Roethlisberger’s career for the Steelers began. As a member of their organization, Roethlisberger posted many records including the most passing yards in a single game at the time. 

But he wasn’t yet finished with his football years as coach for the Alabama Nick Saban drafted him. Roethlisberger was a member of Saban’s team for three years, but Pittsburgh still had a hold on him. Thus, Ben Roethlisberger was selected in the 2004 draft by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

His background

Roethlisberger was born on March 2, 1982 in Lima, Ohio. He holds a degree in communications from Miami University of Ohio. Roethlisberger also had two majors while attending college. The first major he acquired was history and the second was sports broadcasting. 

Roethlisberger has been given many scholarships for his football talents including one from the NCAA, which he declined. His father was a quarterback in the NFL and his older brother is also a quarterback. Roethlisberger played football at Miami University. He is married to Ashley Harlan and has two sons with her.

Roethilisberger awards

In 2004, Roethlisberger received an ESPY Award for the Best College Player. In 2011, he was awarded Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. In 2012, he was awarded the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award. 

Roethlisberger has been nominated for a variety of other awards including Super Bowls and Pro-Bowls. In his first season as a professional player, Roethlisberger led the Steelers to a 15-1 regular-season record and their second Super Bowl win since 1980 after beating the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in Super Bowl XL.

How much is he paid?

Ben Roethlisberger is paid an estimated $19.2 million per year as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers football team. In 2006, he signed an 8-year contract extension worth $102 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers that made him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history.

Roethlisberger’s suspension

Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games, without pay, in 2010 after accusations that he sexually assaulted Andrea McNulty. This is because of his inappropriate behavior that led to this suspension. Roethlisberger denied the allegation and claimed it was consensual sex. 

Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney said “he didn’t want to see Ben Roethlisberger play for the team again.” After being convicted on a sexual assault charge, he served 10 weeks of a 3-month sentence in county jail.

How did this affect his career?

This incident definitely impacted his career. The Steelers released him after the allegations were made public and many other football teams refused to sign him.

This forced him to be a free agent. Roethlisberger announced his retirement from the NFL on March 11, 2014 but then later changed his mind and decided he wanted to return as a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming season.

Conclusion

In the end, Ben Roethlisberger’s career has been nothing short of impressive. In the world of sport, he will always be remembered as a prolific quarterback.
