Big Ben and his family took a trip to Georgia Tech to show Benjamin Jr. where his grandpa Ken played his college ball. While they were there, Ben stopped to pose with two of GT's best football players, Corey Dennis and Sean Tobin.
Sean sent the photo to his aunt, Edy Castronovo (whose family is part of Steeler Nation New Jersey), who said that not only was Sean very excited to meet Ben, but he also said it was an "incredible privilege to meet one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time."
Sean also wanted to add:
"It was great to meet Ben, he's a stand up guy. Was really fun guy to be around and spoke to a couple of us for quite some time, he threw some motivation at us and was telling us to enjoy the offseason, take advantage of it cause your opponent is getting better. Thanks again Ben!"
