"I don't know if he would win a foot race with the guy that we played this past week ( quarterback ), but Ben is someone that I've admired from afar forever. He's a great talent. I was able to be at one Pro Bowl with him, so I got to ask him a lot of questions. Just kind of listen and learn. He's a Hall of Fame quarterback; who wouldn't take the opportunity to try and learn from that guy? I just sat there and I listened to how he talked to his team and the players that he had there with him and communicating with his coaches."He's unbelievable at extending plays in the pocket. He's crazy accurate. He's not afraid to take chances. You've seen that throughout his whole career, and he's gotten a couple rings out of it. He's one of the best quarterbacks in our game, still. You hear in the offseason, 'Is he done?' I'm like, 'I watched the film, I hope he's not done.' The guy is unbelievable. He's playing at a high level. So our guys, I hope they' Ruben Brown Jersey ll be ready, because he's one of the best to do it."

"Just like his brother. Those two guys, whenever you play them, you know you're in for a fight for the whole down. They're going to fight and claw and do everything they can to get to you. Whether you hold the ball for one second or hold it for eight, they're not going to stop. You can tell the Steelers' defense is a very unselfish group. Whoever makes the play, they're all celebrating each other. You can tell that that bond is special because they all know that they all can eat because that guy did his Jake Kumerow Jersey job.

You grow up and watch Rich Gannon and you watch take a 90-yarder down the middle right before I got here. There's so many memories of plays like that. At the home game in 2018 , we throw a touchdown to and they throw a hook and ladder, just some crazy stuff. Memories of throwing to Michael Crabtree to tie it up in 2015 . going for 300 yards or whatever he had that day and watching chase him down at 39 years old . Just crazy memories Greg Mancz Jersey when you think about these two teams."I'm ble sed that I get to live a life where I get to be a part of that. As a football fan, I'm honored that I get to even step on the field at Heinz Field and play against these guys. It's cool for me as a fan, but as a competitor you want to go out there and win the game."
