Roethlisberger, who holds nearly every team passing record, played in three Super Bowls and won two. He was selected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

Speaking about the special moment, chairman Art Rooney II expressed his joy and pride. “When I called Ben to tell him the news, he was the first person I reached out to this week to share the joy,” Rooney said. “It’s great to see a legend of the team honored in this way. Ben has dedicated himself, not only with his achievements on the field, but also with his leadership and fierce fighting spirit.”

Ben Roethlisberger, who has been with the Steelers for more than 18 years, is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. He led the team to two Super Bowl championships, won numerous individual awards and became a symbol of perseverance and passion for the game of football. His career is a story of relentless effort, overcoming many challenges to leave a deep mark in the hearts of fans as well as in the history of the team.

Roethlisberger’s induction into the Hall of Fame is not only a well-deserved honor for him personally, but also a source of pride for the entire Steelers community. It shows appreciation for his contributions throughout his career, helping to build the team’s reputation and inspire the next generation.

Roethlisberger was a member of the Super Bowl XL championship team the following year. He led the Steelers to their sixth championship when his touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds left gave the game a 27-23 win over Arizona.
