"A biography of American football player Ben Roethlisberger, focusing on his philanthropic activities off the field"--Provided by publisher

Ben Roethlisberger is a person who can be viewed in two very different lights. In one light, he is a true professional football player. He is a tough man who delivers more punishment at the quarterback position than he receives, is almost impossible to sack, has been named to multiple Pro-Bowls, has won two Super Bowls, and would do anything for his teammates to help them win. In a different light, people may see an immature man who defiantly refused to wear his helmet when he rode his motorcycle. They may see a man who has been accused of rape on multiple occasions. They may see someone who is not nearly as committed to the game of football when he is not playing. Like many people, there is a lot to Ben Roethlisberger. The good and the bad make him one of the most compelling figures in sports. Inside, you will discover where it all started and learn exactly why he is so controversial. From family to football to the future, all you need to know about Ben Roethlisberger is right here, right now, in the most up to date coverage of Ben Roethlisberger's life. This book is current through Ben's 2012 playoff loss to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos and also includes all of his college and NFL statistics.

As a high schooler in Findlay, Ohio, Ben Roethlisberger, or Big Ben, was not a football phenom. In fact, he didn't become a quarterback until his senior year. At Miami University in Ohio, he wore No. 7 in honor of his favorite quarterback, John Elway the number he still wears as the starting quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In only his third year in the big leagues, Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback in history to win the Super Bowl when he led his team to the win over the Seattle Seahawks. This rising star gives back through the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation, which supports police and fire departments nationwide.
