Ben Roethlisberger has decided to come clean and also found himself in the mist of things.
Roethlisberger has a pretty amazing NFL resume and some might even say very successful. The 33 year old quarterback may have came to a realization in a recent interview.
“I’d be the first to admit I wasn’t a good teammate early in my career,” Roethlisberger said in a long-form profile with Bleacher Report’s Dan Pompei.
“There are some guys who had animosity towards me, and probably rightfully so. I probably could have helped that by being a humble guy who was the best teammate I could be.”
It’s always great to admit faults and come clean about your mistakes.
“With time, you understand you can’t keep being a selfish player or person,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s the ultimate team sport, and in order to be successful, you have to be selfless. Just like being a successful father, you have to be selfless.”
With age comes wisdom. Will we see a different Roethlisberger on the field this season? That may be the case.
