- Ben Roethlisberger is still going strong in year 17 for the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers. Roethlisberger has two rings to his name and been named to six Pro Bowls in his career. He may have a fast track to the Hall of Fame when his career is all said and done. Way back at the 2004 NFL Draft, Roethlisberger was the 11th pick.

You know that guy still tells everyone at Applebee’s how he started in front of Ben Rothlisberger in high school.
That guy made it to the NFL to
@@NowYourMad No. No he didn't. Ryan Hite played WR at a Division III school and is now works for the athletic department at Bowling Green. He was the coach's son and his Dad's logic was this: "My son throwing to Ben was a better combination than Ben throwing to my son."
As in his son was better at throwing than he was at catching or as in he doubted bens throwing ability?
Harry that had stuff is past tense he is having a great career as it's still going on and better than ever
His Pops... Pulling the MY son is a Leader Card. Ben go to WR till my Boy Graduates. 🤣🤣🤣
The 2004 draft class was crazy. 🔥
1 of the best ever
And to think J.P. Losman was the fourth quarterback taken, also in the 1st round, in that draft. Won 10 games in 33 games over a six or seven year miserable career.
We have three possibly four HOF’ers in the 1st round.
@@cstains5543-Not sayin he was great but buffalo was pretty shitty back then.
@@jimmyo68-Eli, rivers, fitz, ben is 4 right there...sean taylor woulda made it (rip), d hall was good but i doubt he'll get in. I'd have to check the whole 1st rd but there might be another hof'er in there to make it 5.
R.I.P Sean Taylor
Forever be remembered as a family man

In his tragic final year he was sharing the backfield with the likes of Shawn Springs, Carlos Rogers and Fred Smoot. Absolute beast of a backfield. Never been as good since.
I nearly cried that day it took everything to hold it back i didnt want to cry in front of my girl.
Look at the send-off. Giants gave Eli a class retirement press conference, retired his number snd celebrated him.
The chargers gave phillip a tweet.
Eli made the right decision
this is why chargers have no fans
to be fair eli won them two super bowl and retired, while rivers left in free agency. he didn’t deserve much more than a tweet.
rivers isnt done yet, would be kinda weird to retire a jersey of a player still playing. when he retires theyll probably send him off well
@@a_turn_of_events8390 but look at peyton at the colts. They gave him a conference because he was their elite QB you know? They just give phillip at tweet. I know je didn't win any superbowls but 16 years should be worth more than a tweet
@@agentorange1156 He got his millions from the chargers.He was bad last year too.He needed to leave or retire.
Actually it is pretty amazing that 9 of the 10 picks before Big Ben were really good picks.
04 was an all time draft class.
You mean four of the nine drafted ahead of Ben were pretty good. The other five were mediocre at best.
Robert Gallery and Reggie Williams were total busts
Kellen Winslow was like a bust
Roy Williams and Dunta Robinson were "meh"
2 were busts 2 were meh and sean taylor(RIP) didn't get to play as long as he should have.
Who were the 196 players drafted before Trace McSorley

RIP Sean Taylor...you are still missed.
I forgot he was murdered. it was tragic
Eli’s face when he is holding up the chargers jersey is hilarious
Eli refusing to play for the chargers might’ve saved his career
You are acting as if the Chargers are the Jets or something
@@NoobMaster-or5ub My Man The Chargers SUCKED back then
@@justinjeffersonisopoyhands9957 yeah that’s why they got a high draft pick bucko, it’s a matter of if the organization could switch gears and build around a new QB unlike the jets who just throw everything away

I love Big Ben but God, what a stacked class!

That’s gotta be one of the most loaded drafts ever
I was a year ahead of him at Miami of Ohio. He was skinny as a beanpole. Watched him almost singlehandedly beat Iowa at home my senior year. Glad he's found so much success.
I mean he’s 6’5. 200 LBS looks small on a guy that tall.
Oh hell yes! Steeler Nation, stand up!
I'm here
Yes Sir
Oh yea
Yessir still undefeated
I'm going to miss this man. My favorite Steeler all time. Thank you for the memories Ben!😢💪🏆
He's gonna have a good career bright future for the Steelers
Nah he’s gonna be a bust
He did
@@maxwelloverton5543 I don't think so he seems good I feel like he has a bright future
Micah Bell he’s gonna be Blake bortles 2.0
@@maxwelloverton5543 I don't think so man I feel like he's gonna develop into what bortles should've been
LETS GO BIG BEN BABY!!!! WHERE MY NOTI GANG AT!
So having a top ten pick that season you were likely to get a pro bowl starter at minimum. That's a great draft class.
I think Ed Reed or Ray Lewis would be a good video. (Miami Bias Post #2)
I feel so bad for Ryan Shazier, he would have most likely by the end of his career, would have been a hall of Famer.
Fun fact: The Giants were gonna take Big Ben instead of Phillip Rivers at 4 but since they knew they' were gonna trade with the Chargers and they wanted Rivers rather than Roethlisberger so the Giants took Rivers
They probably should have Kept Rivers or Taken Roethlisberger
@@GoonToAnGoblin nah eli helped them win two titles.screw rivers
Pastor Ray Pittman The Etherizer I’m pretty sure you have no idea just how good Rivers was. You probably know him for how he has played in recent years. Rivers or Roethlisberger could have won those titles.
JayyAstro bruh... Phillip Rivers could never have done what Eli Manning has done in those two Super Bowls, they were going up against the Patriots twice, do you really think Phillip River could have made those clutch plays?!
BEC Jackie Chan Maybe Philip wouldn’t have been able to do that, but you aren’t realizing just how good Philip was. PS Ben could have done it tho
Let’s go Big Ben let’s go Steelers!
These videos are so interesting, what's even more are the personal stories you added in this one
Sean Taylor was really sad he had so much potential
He woulda been the greatest safety ever probably
Eli Manning was also won the 2016 Walter Payton man of the year. Character is important
What a talent loaded first 11 picks for the most part.
All qbs drafted before trace mcsorley
I use to see hall all the time because his daughter cheered with my sister
I think Big Ben is one of the toughest quarterbacks to ever play the game. The man has taken some devastating hits (when DB's can actually get him down) and he's had his nose shattered and he still kept playing. Also, Sean Taylor's story is incredibly tragic. I remember hearing about it when it first happened. Had he lived, this draft had the potential to mirror the 1989 draft in the sense that 4 of the first 5 players drafted went to the Hall of Fame.
My packers had to take tony manarich instead of barry sanders 🙄
All I remember of Big Ben in college was throwing 3 picks to the Hawkeyes and I thought at the time he had no chance at the NFL.
Obviously I was... incorrect in my assessment
Well the Hawkeyes uniforms look very similar to the Steelers. He was probably just getting used to the idea of throwing to that style uniform.
@@SamBrickell Josh Allen did literally the same thing, I think he was hoping to be drafted by the Steelers as well
You should have mentioned how the Nuke broke DeAngelo Hall's ankles after he talked smack to him
Great video tho🔥
He sent them to the shadow realm.
I’d have loved to see him go up against Hall in his prime, that would have actually been a fight worth watching.
I currently going to Findlay high school. He bought the entire varsity team new cleats and donated a lot of money for a new weight room. My mom worked for bens dad at one point
That’s luv!
Dude love the channel keep it up I've watched everything
I didnt expect this to happen love the content LETS GO BEN
Great tribute to the one and only Sean Taylor. This was A class!!!!
Great video!
I remember where I was and what I was doing on the day of this draft, ty Ben it's been a awesome trip and no let's not pull over here let's keep going down the road and see what's over that last big hill.
I didn’t know Manning was in the top ten with his stats for QBs. With two rings to show for he’ll definitely be in the HOF. Plus he being a nice overall guy helps!
As does his last name
mister Maybe you should look up "nice guy" in Webster's. Big Ben might be a hell of a quarterback, and some other things, but he not a "nice guy". Nice guys go their entire lives without raping anyone. Ben's got at least two victims to his credit...
@@hell-sol5240 With all due respect, last name means shit in HOF consideration.
@@aronyoturjo573 usually I'd agree with that but in this case it holds merit
@@zoznack how in the world did you get Big Ben when I clearly said, Manning?? Ben is a POS!
love ur videos guys
Not a Steelers fan but I've been a fan of Big Ben since Miami(Ohio).
I’m a Steelers fan and Taylor hit different for me too😢 I have his home #21 jersey
Josh Rosen (Az, Miami) said the 9 players picked before him were mistakes.......he is now a practice squad QB.
Big Ben was tiny in highschool...he had a *HUGE* growth spurt over the summer his junior year....and he played well enough to be 1st rd pick by his Sophomore season at Miami Ohio
Even us die hard Eagles fans miss Sean Taylor. Dude was a beast. Respect. Easily would have been a HOFer.
Also, "He tied the league record of 4 intercepts in a game with 4 interceptions". Lol
But in all seriousness, good video bro. 👍🏻
I can't remember which talking draft head said it, but my ears have been ringing ever since, "If the Raiders do not take Roethlisberger, they are making a VERY BIG mistake!"
The only bigger draft mistake that bites as hard as that miss was the onecit caused: JaMarcus Russell when Adrian Peterson was clearly the best player in the draft.
Jags and Texans really should have taken Big Ben too.
@@franohmsford7548 Hindsight is 20-20 and yeah, those two would have benefit from taking “Big Ben” as well.
But if I remember correctly, they both had prior first round qbs they were committed to in Byron Leftwich and David Carr. I think the reason the scout identified Oakland as the team that would be kicking themselves for not choosing Roethllisberger is that they had the number 2 overall pick, and the Raiders were in need of a qb for the future as they were going through one veteran after another in their search to replace the injured/retired Rich Gannon. Everyone knew that the Chargers were going to take Eli Manning first, so the question was whether the Raiders would take Roethlisberger or Rivers. The Raiders had expressed interest in Ben, but also were excited about Robert Gallery who was considered a safer pick, because top linemen usually have a higher percentage of working out than top qbs in the draft.
The “knock” on Ben was that he played at a small school and some were concerned that he had not seen enough top competition to make it as a pro.
Obviously, the scout who said the Raiders would be making a mistake passing on Big Ben got it right.
My bigger cry about this was it cast the die that ultimately led the Silver and Black to draft JaMarcus Russell when, had they drafted Big Ben in 2004, they could have taken Adrian Peterson instead of Russell. Imagine Roethlisberger and Peterson in the same offense!
You guys are from VT? Nice, I went to Radford. Subbed.
a little late but J&D doesnt fail to entertain #underrated
This is the first video I’ve seen on this channel, was surprised to hear go Hokies. Go Hokies!
When your favorite UA-camrs ask what video you want and and they make it
The 2004 draft was freaking stacked. Manning and Rivers are probably Hall of Famers, Fitz is one of the best wideouts to never get a ring (and first ballot HOFer obviously) and Ben is almost certainly a first ballot HOFer as well. Winslow, Williams and Hall probably are never going to Canton, but none of them could be called busts by any measure.
That was a hell of a top 10 picks
And 17 years later, Big Ben with a surgically reconstructed throwing elbow is still better than most 25 year old healthy QB'.s
Do one for dk metcalf
Was a really good QB draft class that year
RIP Sean Taylor. In that top 11 there weren't many busts really. If you are Chargers and Giants you don't regret the selections you made.
As great as this draft was.. [butterfly effect] you either draft Sean Taylor or Ben at 1.. I still consider Taylor as a GM because he is a God damn hero. And deserves to be remembered for what he could have been, because what he was? Game Changer. Worthy of a first overall
RIP S. Taylor! ❤️❤️❤️
these are great videos! but I'm curious- why the history lesson on that particular player before giving the list? I would think that if someone watches this, they know all about that player.
All these players are incredible. What a draft
Excellent video. When Joe Gibbs drafted Taylor over Winslow II it was odd because Gibbs was OC on the Air Coryell Chargers for which Winslow’s HoF father played. Winslow II has been accused of many rapes & the Sports Illustrated article in him (it calls him Winslow Jr) has some scary details.
Damn that was a really good draft class.
This is the first year Ben's been a great leader. Getting drunk with your O-line dont count. Everything he says goes back to team and how proud he is of them now and its said he watches more film and preps more then ever. He use to be just a great gamer now he leads and its great because the offense is so young and the culture must continue.
He has had an amazing career getting close to end!!!
Big Ben came outta Miami Ohio. Not a power 5 conference. So, the fact he got drafted where he did, with the QB'S in this draft, makes sense.
Yall had the perfect opportunity to call this Ben 10
It’s always coach’s son get to play or start
Where on VA are you from? I’m from Roanoke so I’m only 30 mins from Blacksburg. GO HOKIES!!
I know the coach that started his son over Ben. His name is Hite and he never lives it down. Although Ben claims it made him a better QB, being a receiver in HS.
Ben was NEVER "lackluster" ever. He was just as special in High School and College as he is in the pros. Whenever Ben played quarterback during his Junior year, fans could not understand why he wasn't the starting quarterback in High School. I know because my Dad was one of the fans who said that comment.
Can you do tredavious white
This was a pretty solid draft class
do troy Polamalu if you haven't already
One of the most underrated WB drafts of alltime
Go Hokies. I saw every game DeAngelo hall and Michael Vick Played in Blacksburg. Have you ever seen 4.23 speed? Live? I ran JV track but on the men's team, the others kept complaining that I was in the way, so I had to work out with the girls. They beat me up and it left me with scars. Both mental and I was shanked a few times.
omg every time I hear kellen I think someone is talking to me because the name kellen is so rare
That draft was crazy deep and Rothlisberger was drafted pretty much in the correct spot considering he played at a MAC school. I was hoping my Raiders would draft him but they went O-Line instead. Besides, the 2-pick was way too high for Big Ben to be drafted.
Can you do a primetime video next
One stat that ben roethlisberger has over almost all of his contemporaries is career win loss percentage. Only brady, manning and Russell Wilson are better. At the end of 2019 Roethlisberger was at a .676 winning percentage. Better than Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Steve Young, john elway, dan Marino. Way higher than Philip rivers at .552 or eli manning's pedestrian 500 career winning percentage. What sets him apart from those 2 is his career, more regular season wins, more playoff wins, more conference championship appearances and wins, and more super bowl appearances and wins. I like big games and stats, but I like WINS the most.
This Draft was great
I always get a kick out of Big Ben's HS clips. Dude was bigger than his OL.
I’ve met Ben irl before he lived an hour away from me
He didn't start at Qb in high school because he started at WR and was the Punt Returner were believe it or not I believe he still holds return records
As top ten drafts go, that was a stout one.
Crazy draft class
Rip Sean Taylor
Big shout out to the Browns organization for drafting the soldier, instead of the home state kid...only to manage to draft both David Njoku/Jabrill Peppers ahead of TJ Watt.
Amongst a couple of many blunders that’s plagued the mistake by the lake. But keep rocking your dumbass Rudolph started it shirts, and always remember Cleveland started it...Pittsburgh finished it.
The simple irony is Sean Taylor wasn’t supposed to be home. But an injury forced him from the lineup so he was home and not with the team. Such a sad story. Such a great ballplayer
Man I forgot Taylor was in this draft. He had a chance to be better than Ed Reed which is the best ball hawk I ever seen. Ravens Steelers games were the best for 15/18 years.
So we not gonna talk abt what happened to deangelo hall vs nuke Hopkins
Now they 8-0 now
Looking back at this draft and especially the players, I’m young but even as a Steeler fan it’s crazy that Ben ended up being the best player from the draft.
Hahahaha, not even close man.
@@SamBrickell must’ve been someone drafted after him then
Can you do players Drafted Before Patrick Willis
You should do the WR's taken before Dante Hall
You should do a all the safety’s or free safety’s drafted before Anthony Harris
Great draft year.
Does anyone else find it weird that the 3 receivers who were the top selections of that class class all wore #11? Just a coincidence I guess 🤷♂️
Might be. It was also around that time the NFL allowed the use of the numbers 10-19 for WRs and 40-49 for all TEs (not just the long-snappers and FB/TE hybrids), as it was becoming more common for teams to carry 5+ WRs and 3+ TEs. There weren't enough 80-89 numbers to go around.
In a sense, 11 could also be looked at as #1 (but twice). It's a number many WRs wear in college, but also denotes the mentality (#1 receiver on the team) and their draft position.
But that's a good point: was it a coincidence? Of the three, only LF has had the career befitting his draft position, but he seems far from a "look at me" kind of player. That'd be interesting to find out...
and two of those receivers' last name were "Williams"
poor ben, imagine 198 players being drafted before u. an now u r the goat, go brady. ben u r a very good quarter back
All in all that was a very good top 11 pick over all.
Taylor could have been the best safety ever.
Maybe...woulda been a lot easier said than done but woulda made the hall of fame at the very least.
I didn’t know deangelo hall had that many picks
Damn that draft had talent
The Eli-Rivers trade wasn’t one for one like you said. Chargers got the Giants 2004 third, 2005 first and 5th round picks. Using two of them on Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.
@Elijah keeping Brees and taking the best available player at one would’ve meant Brees, LT, Michael Turner, Lorenzo Neal, Larry Fitzgerald, Vincent Jackson, Keenan McCardell and Gates as the skill position players.That’s scary. I think the best course of action though is still making the trade but taking Sean Taylor at 4 and Merriman and Kaeding with the traded picks to balance the team better
