Ben Roethlisberger says todays NFL players are selfish.
Ben Roethlisberger: Today’s young players are coddled
“I feel like the game has changed,” Roethlisberger said. “I feel like the people have changed in a sense. Maybe it’s because I got spoiled when I came in. The team was so important. It was all about the team. Now, it’s about me and this, that and the other.
“I might be standing on a soapbox a little bit, but that’s my biggest takeaway from when I started to the end. It turned from a team-first to a me-type attitude. It was hard. It’s hard for these young guys, too. Social media. They’re treated so well in college. Now, this new NIL stuff, which is unbelievable. They’re treated so special. They’re coddled at a young age because college coaches need them to win, too. I know coach [Terry] Hoeppner never coddled me [at Miami of Ohio]. Neither did [Bill] Cowher.”

I agree..... If only because I always take the word of a Man who has been there and done that........ And, Ben......certainly does not believe in a coddled life!......He walks the walk and talks the talk........ He has my total respect!
What a MAN!!!!
Big Ben is an idiot
This moron was surely thinking of his teammates back early in his career when he was doing helmetless faceplants off a motorcycle and when he was heading down the path of becoming the original serial assaulter that Watson eventually turned out to be.

Notice how the officer is checking on the condition of the bike after the accident and not Ben here. 😉

He's right. The NFL isn't the great league it used to be in the 70's and 80's.
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

Ben always managed to be in off season shape at the end of the season. Now that is not easy.
I agree, whatever one can say about Roth, he knew how to suffer on the field and tough it out...........
