Ben Roethlisberger has admitted that he wanted his replacement at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Kenny Pickett, to fail after he announced his retirement from the NFL.
The legendary quarterback walked away after the 2021 season following 17 years as quarterback with the historic franchise. During his incredible career, Roethlisberger finished with two Super Bowl championships, six Pro Bowl's and two-time passing yards leader.
But some feel that he should have retired prior to the 2021 season, when he greatly struggled in his final season, limiting the offense of a strong team. The Steelers were seen as a strong landing spot for a quarterback, but had limited options in a draft seen as the worst quarterback class in decades.
