Drafted by the Steelers with the 11th pick in the 2004 draft, Big Ben saw his first game action after a Week 2 Tommy Maddox injury. Expected to sit behind Maddox all year, Roethlisberger smashed the league and team records by going 13-0 in the regular season as a starter, guiding the Steelers to the AFC Championship game and winning AP Offensive ROY honors.

Big Ben is a 2x Super Bowl champion, 6x Pro Bowl selection and a sure-fire Hall of Famer. It’s safe to say the Steelers nailed this pick.
