The two-time Super Bowl-winning QB said Thursday that it was “time to clean out my locker, hang up my cleats.”
The longtime Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback announced his retirement on Thursday, saying it was “time to clean out my locker, hang up my cleats” after 18 years, two Super Bowls, countless team records and a spot in the Hall of Fame all but secure.“I don’t know how to put into words what the game of football has meant to me and what a blessing it has been,” Roethlisberger, 39,. “But I know with confidence I have given my all to the game, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for what it has given me.
He hinted before his final game at Heinz Field that it was time for him to move on and spend more time with his wife, Ashley, and their three children and made it a point to embrace the moment following a Monday night win over the Browns on Jan. 3, doing a victory lap of sorts before disappearing down the tunnel surrounded by his family.
“Putting that jersey on every Sunday with my brothers, will always be one of the greatest joys of my life,” he said.
