Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger has been retired for a year now, but that didn’t stop the 49ers from reaching out to him in their time of need.
Tuesday afternoon, according to SteelersNow.com. “They were, I think reaching out maybe just to gauge my interest. I had discussions. I don’t want to sit here and say I was going or anything like that. They called me to gauge interest…”
Roethlisberger, 41, admitted he still has the passion to play the game, but in the end, he couldn’t truly get himself to follow through with it. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say there was a small part of me that was intrigued. I could still do it and prove to people that I could still play,” he added. “At the end of the day, I just can’t see myself in anything other than black and gold.”
Roethlisberger put up 64,088 yards in 18 seasons with the Steelers, the most by a quarterback who only played for one team in NFL history
