Yesterday, we received a great gift from the Pittsburgh Steelers official Twitter account. We were able to see our beloved quarterback Ben Roethlisberger throwing a football again! If that video doesn't make you want to run through a wall in anticipation of this upcoming season, I'm not sure what else would get your juices flowing! Today is another Roethlisberger topic. He discussed the details of last season's season-ending elbow injury. Ian Rapoport give us a summary of what the quarterback told reporters.
#Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger tells reporters that he tore three flexor tendons off the bone, elbow surgery he believes no QB has ever come back from. Not Tommy John, but somewhat similar and very serious. That he looks and feels this good is impressive.

Along with this discussion with reporters, he also made some comments that should make Steeler fans even more excited for the upcoming season.
.@_BigBen7: I'm not saying I have 10 years left in me, but I still have a lot left to give...and I still want to win Lombardis and yes, I said plural.

Not only does this have me excited for this upcoming season, this has me ready for the next couple of seasons! Our QB1 is hungry and ready to prove his critics wrong. He's excited to play with his new weapons on offense and has been building chemistry with one Steelers' significant free agent signing, TE Eric Ebron. In the same thread as the previous tweet, Missi Matthews gives us details.
Ben said new TE Eric Ebron stayed at his house this offseason when he came to meet him and throw/workout together

I know this news and these quotes made my Tuesday lunch hour, and my expectations are extremely high for this season! Our QB1 isn't preparing to lie down, he's preparing to help put this team back in the Super Bowl win column! Steelers' fans, HERE WE GO! Get those Terrible Towels ready!
