September, 2010 - Working with Mr. Whitfield1743 viewsBen trained with quarterbacks coach George Whitfield for several weeks at a local Pittsburgh area high school.

â€œItâ€™s not like I have Mike Tomlin standing behind me to reinforce what I say. But I might as well have. Benâ€™s been very coachable. Heâ€™s fired up to do this. I was a little intimidated at first, because I didnâ€™t know what to expect. But heâ€™s excited to come to work every day when Iâ€™m with him, and heâ€™s putting his time to good use.â€ â€“ George Whitfield on working with Ben, from SI.com.

September, 2010 - Working with Mr. Whitfield1437 views"For me, when I had a chance to interact with him, It was awesome. He was carefree. He's very honest - you ask him a question, he doesn't take a whole long time trying to process it, figure out how he should put in it...he shoots straight. He's a funny guy. He's competitive, we played everything from ping-pong to even...I put up my imaginary 5 NBA players vs his and we'd debate which team should win...he talks football and he knows the game. He has a very deep history of the Steelers. He would talk about Rocky Bleir, and Ham...he would speak an awful lot about Swan and some of the Super Bowl teams. I know he has a rich appreciation of Steelers football.

"We talked about his draft process, his high school experience and things of that sort. He's very candid, very easy to be around. I watched him with other Pittsburgh people, at restaurants, coming on and off the field with people wanting a picture or an autograph...there's a lot of flexibility with him, and until you get a chance to tag along with someone in his spotlight you don't appreciate what he goes through day in and day out....and there are some people that were awesome and said 'hey Ben good luck' or just wanted to pat him on the back. Other people more demanding...we'd be in the middle of a training session and you would see people walk right into the drill. He's sweating and going hard. Ben would stop every time, take the marker, sign the autograph, take the photo, he would chat people up. And you know he's cooling down. His arm's cooling down and he would start the training right back up....never a complaint, never any resentment about it. He would just keep rolling. From that standpoint he really was remarkable in a lot of ways. -- George Whitfield on interacting with Ben, from his interview with 93.7 - The Fan, October 5, 2010.

September, 2010 - Working with Mr. Whitfield1388 views"I hooked up with Ben through his agent. I had a chance in the winter time, we were getting some guys going in off season training, and Ben flew out to California to meet me and we had a chance to work out some. Once the circumstances hit I was unaware of the separation and the gulf that goes between a team and the suspended player. I didn't know he was going to be on his own until his agents called. They said, 'Hey, he's gonna be out there on his own, and he'd like you to come.' And I had a chance to talk to Ben and he said 'George I'm excited and I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. I've got to make the best out of this deal.' and I said 'I'm in.' I didn't really have a great grasp of what he was gonna be like and where he was, with everything that was going on. I just knew there was a task and really hoping that he'd be game for it, and he was." -- George Whitfield on 93.7 - The Fan, October 5, 2010.
