We’ve never seen a workout video from Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. He doesn’t incessantly post ever squat rep and sprint as so many of today’s athletes do in hopes of praise and affirmation for their effort. According to NFL reporter Jay Glazer, this is because Roethlisberger is “allergic” to fitness.
Glazer, who is a known fitness fanatic and gym owner didn’t hold back on what he says if Roethlisberger’s fitness routine involving a little yoga, golf and beer drinking.
No matter how much truth there is to this, the narrative is going to grow legs. Roethlisberger’s return from injury is national news and if he isn’t at his best when he steps back on the field you can bet his critics will point to things like this as a reason for his struggles. Personally, I assume Roethlisberger partakes in much more fitness than what Glazer is claiming.
