Pro-Day Workout - March 25, 20041527 viewsThe pro-day workout of former RedHawks quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was the attraction, and a half-dozen draft-eligible ex-teammates tried to catch some of the refracted attention.
Scouts or assistant coaches from nearly all 32 NFL teams made their way to Oxford. Two head coaches, Green Bay's Mike Sherman and the Giants' Tom Coughlin - along with Giants' general manager Ernie Accorsi and three of the club's scouts - were there, too.
Charting each of the players' moves with stopwatches and clipboards, scouts watched them lift weights, jump, sprint and run agility drills before congregating in Yager Stadium for the main event: Ben throws.
He threw long and short, soft and hard, down the middle and toward the sideline - showing off his impressive arm and timing on the deep out pattern.
Roethlisberger ran 4.76 seconds in the 40-yard dash. And he clocked an 11.8 - considered fast for a quarterback - on a three-cone agility drill.
The Packers have the 25th pick in the first round and a quarterback named Brett Favre, but that didn't stop Sherman from making the trip.
"He's probably going be gone before we pick, but I always want to cover our bases in case something happens - he falls or we move up," Sherman said. "I thought he had an excellent workout. He did everything here he does on tape. You have to watch the game tape to really appreciate what kind of quarterback he is and what kind of leadership skills he has."

August Fan Photos - The gang's all here!586 viewsBat-Erdene Altankhuyag and his wife Bolor, their children Anu 15 (wearing Troy's #43), Temuulen 10 (wearing Antonio's #84), Nomin 7 (wearing obviously Big Ben's jersey #7), & Ermuun 3 (wearing Ryan Clark's #25).
"We currently live in Centreville, VA. We're originally from Mongolia, but we like to joke that our family population is equally divided between the Mongols & the Americans as three of the kids were born in the US (only Nomin was born in Mongolia). Funnily enough, I liked the Steelers because their colors were my favorite colors first. I became a football fan because of the Bus & Hines Ward & we've been following the Steelers well over 13-14 years now. We're currently living in the Washington Redskins territory along with many other Steelers fans. :)" -- Bat-Erdene.

Ben Roethlisberger reaches out2033 viewsBen spent some time over the weekend of May 18-20th, 2007 talking to local children about the dangers of drugs at an event called "The Alliance".
He spent two hours at the event, talking to the kids and giving out awards.
Ben was quoted on KDKA 2:
"There's no room for [drugs] in sports. If that is where [kids] want to be and that's what they want to do - life in general, there is no room for drugs - so that is the message I try to convey to them."
