The Pittsburgh Steelers will begin the next season without their legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben had announced his football retirement last season’s end. Unfortunately, his last game for the franchise ended in a defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Wildcard Game.

He was a great veteran for the Steelers, but now it’s time to pass the torch. Even though it isn’t clear who’ll be the starting quarterback of the Steelers next season, Kenny Pickett or Mitchell Trubisky will have enormous shoes to fill.
