April 24, 20041745 views"I was in New York. I had my mom and dad with me, my sister was there and my agent. My college coach at the time and his wife were there. Everyone kind of had their speculations of 'what number' and what team. The teams we thought were going to take me, didn't, but it ended up working out perfectly for me." -- Ben, from the video, "Draft Day Memories".

September, 2010 - Working with Mr. Whitfield1742 viewsBen trained with quarterbacks coach George Whitfield for several weeks at a local Pittsburgh area high school.
“It’s not like I have Mike Tomlin standing behind me to reinforce what I say. But I might as well have. Ben’s been very coachable. He’s fired up to do this. I was a little intimidated at first, because I didn’t know what to expect. But he’s excited to come to work every day when I’m with him, and he’s putting his time to good use.†– George Whitfield on working with Ben, from SI.com.

Veterans Day, 20111742 viewsPhoto 1:
"Good morning...from Iraq...I'm a US Army soldier, getting ready to finish out my tour in Iraq and was just wondering if you would like to pass on to Ben (and the rest of the team) some of the attached photos of me and my teammates during our travels through the country with my Terrible Towel.
"I've been a Steeler fan since I was a kid and never thought I'd get to do the things I've been doing for the Army and for our country...I just wanted to share these with you all and hope you enjoy them...One thing I've been able to do is follow the Steelers during this deployment and I'm looking forward to getting home and catching the last couple of the season from my home (in Virginia) with my family. Take care and thanks!"

Sprint "Power to Play" min-camp1740 viewsDavid Burke of David Burke Photographers (http//www.davidburkephoto.com) was kind enough to send me the photo of his handsome son Damon posing with Ben this weekend at the mini-camp event. According to David:
"Saturday, my son Damon, had the awesome opportunity to hang out with Ben Roethlisberger for a mini-camp. Damon told me that Ben threw 3 passes to him, but he dropped the first two. He said that on the third pass, Ben said, 'Go Deep Damon, Keep Going Damon!' So Damon ended up catching a 55 yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger! How cool is that catching a bomber from the Super Bowl XL Champion Quarterback? Once in a lifetime opportunity!
He told me that it hurt like crazy, when he caught it! Damon's uncle Nathan, was gracious enough to invite him to the mini camp."

From his email:
"P.S. Tell Ben that I'm also a Miami grad (1982) and I'm a pretty old dad (51 and my son is 6), so he's got plenty of time. We went to the same school together at different times."
