Ken Roethlisberger felt a new kind of pride this weekend when he played host to his son for dinner: it was Ben's first Father's Day as a dad, and Ken's first as a grandparent.
"It's nice to see [Ben] in that role," Ken Roethlisberger said Monday while taking in Ben's Football ProCamp at Seneca Valley High School. "It's fun to watch him and Benjamin -- he's so small in his arms. He's doing a good job so far. He gets down on the ground and plays with him -- it's great."
Former quarterback and current broadcaster Rich Gannon once said that becoming a father made him a better quarterback in that he became "more disciplined." Since Benjamin Jr. was born in November, Roethlisberger has started to understand the connection.
"I feel like having a child, especially a son, makes you very patient," he said. "It was enjoyable to have my first Father's Day and be around family -- that's what's important to me."
"It was nice having the whole family together," Ken added. "We went to church in the morning all together. They came to our house and his wife, Ashley, cooked dinner -- a cheese pasta with chicken in it. Delicious."
