While it’s something they don’t talk about, there is no doubt Roethlisberger is proud of what his son has accomplished, both on and off the field.
“I don’t even know how to start with that. It’s just amazing,†said Roethlisberger. “We didn’t grow up watching football on television. It’s not like today where everyone is glued to their sets. That wasn’t a point of Sunday, watching football games. You went to church, came home and played outside. It’s almost surreal to know he is in the middle of this. We didn’t make football a priority. I am so proud, especially the way he handled himself through adversity. That is what I am prouder of than the things he does on the field. Just to see the way he is raising his three kids and the husband he is to Ashley. We look at each other sometimes and say we are so proud of that.â€
