Coming out of Miami University of Ohio in 2004, Ben Roethlisberger was a massive prospect at 6’5 and 240lbs, who could run around the field like a big wide receiver and launch the ball a country mile. But as Roethlisberger got older, and he relied less and less on his athleticism, his listed weight of 240lbs became more and more generous; it’s very likely he was playing at a weight as much as 25lbs more than that.
