Kaitlyn Rose Collins ‏@Kay_rose2015
Hoping @_BigBen7 surgery went well. Get some rest and I hope u feel better soon. #Steelers #1QB #BigFan 🙂

“I am an investigations commander with the Lynnwood Police Department in Washington State and, accordingly, appreciate the support Ben gives local law enforcement through his foundation. I am also a huge Steelers fan and appreciate the leadership he presents to the team. Lastly, I am a fellow meniscus surgery recipient and wish him well in his recovery. Tell him even though he’s my FF football QB and I want a seventh championship for Pittsburgh, don’t rush back. It’s not healthy for him in the long run. I ran a marathon five weeks after my first meniscus surgery, resulting in a second surgery. I finished but it wasn’t worth it. Best Regards, Steve Rider.
