September, 2010 - Working with Mr. Whitfield1405 views"For me, when I had a chance to interact with him, It was awesome. He was carefree. He's very honest - you ask him a question, he doesn't take a whole long time trying to process it, figure out how he should put in it...he shoots straight. He's a funny guy. He's competitive, we played everything from ping-pong to even...I put up my imaginary 5 NBA players vs his and we'd debate which team should win...he talks football and he knows the game. He has a very deep history of the Steelers. He would talk about Rocky Bleir, and Ham...he would speak an awful lot about Swan and some of the Super Bowl teams. I know he has a rich appreciation of Steelers football.
"We talked about his draft process, his high school experience and things of that sort. He's very candid, very easy to be around. I watched him with other Pittsburgh people, at restaurants, coming on and off the field with people wanting a picture or an autograph...there's a lot of flexibility with him, and until you get a chance to tag along with someone in his spotlight you don't appreciate what he goes through day in and day out....and there are some people that were awesome and said 'hey Ben good luck' or just wanted to pat him on the back. Other people more demanding...we'd be in the middle of a training session and you would see people walk right into the drill. He's sweating and going hard. Ben would stop every time, take the marker, sign the autograph, take the photo, he would chat people up. And you know he's cooling down. His arm's cooling down and he would start the training right back up....never a complaint, never any resentment about it. He would just keep rolling. From that standpoint he really was remarkable in a lot of ways. -- George Whitfield on interacting with Ben, from his interview with 93.7 - The Fan, October 5, 2010.

Look at the smile!465 viewsThank you so much for posting my Grandson's pictures. His name is Christian Melnik, 8 years old, from Butler, PA.
Christian goes to 2nd grade at Center Township Elementary school in Butler, PA.
2013 was our third year going to training camp. We always try to make it to the night practice at Latrobe Stadium and have never even got close to getting Ben's autograph. But last summer, with the last open practice moved to St. Vincent, it gave us a better opportunity. We had just arrived at the field, and were sitting along the fence line when I saw Ben headed our way. I encouraged Christian to squeeze his way along the fence and hold his ground and just hold up the football as high as he could. There was a lot of pushing by the bigger kids, but Christian scored an autograph from his favorite player, #7. He clutched that ball all day, it now sits on our mantel above the fireplace.
I keep promising Christian we will make it to a football game at Heinz Field someday before he gets too much older, I'm not exactly getting any younger either. Hopefully, it'll be one of those lifelong memories between Grandfather and Grandson that we will never forget. -- Tom Melnik
