Ben Roethlisberger is back for one more go-around with the Pittsburgh Steelers before he seemingly hangs up his cleats for good. The veteran is hoping for another run to the Super Bowl with the Steelers. In doing so, he is apparently attempting to better his body and is using Tom Brady as a bit of motivation.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Roethlisberger is exploring a new, strict diet.

“Ben camp says biggest concern is weight loss. He has been so driven since [the] season ended. Source says his diet is stricter than [Tom] Brady.”

Interesting comments and it's no surprise that Roethlisberger is doing what he can to be in the best shape of his life as his football career appears to be drawing to a close after a successful run. Roethlisberger's camp also says that he is in the “best shape of his life.”

The Steelers disappointed after starting the year undefeated and being pegged as Super Bowl favorites. Ultimately, they tripped down the stretch and lost to the Cleveland Browns in the playoffs.

So, hopefully Roethlisberger's Brady-Esque routine works and the Steelers can find a way to capture the AFC North crown and make a deep playoff run before he hangs it up for good.
