Heading into his 15th season in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to play a big role offensively as one of the driving forces of the team.
However, there have been some questions as to how he is holding up physically with his body gearing up to go through another rigorous season. In response to those inquiries, Roethlisberger has voiced that he is in a great place physically and his arm feels quite strong heading into the 2018 campaign.

The Steelers are hoping that Roethlisberger can continue to play at a high level as the team looks to be primed to make another deep playoff run behind their explosive offense. The 36-year-old is at the center of that being the primary component in the passing game that has a dynamic duo at his disposal with wide receivers Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster along with star running back Le'Veon Bell in the backfield.
There is still much confidence in his ability especially given that he is coming off yet another highly productive season that saw him earn his sixth Pro Bowl selection after recording 4,251 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes with a 64.2 completion rate and a 93.4 passer rating. This was his fifth season with more than 4,000 passing yards and seventh with more than 25 passing touchdowns.
This is another chance for him to show that he has plenty of gas left in the tank to not only play at a high level but also compete for a Super Bowl. It is all on the table in front of him to help lead the Steelers to much success and surpass his team's shortcomings in the postseason last year.
