I'm a huge Ben fan and think if he falls to 10 we should move up and get him.
I always felt (even before today) that Ben was better than Eli. I feel he has more potenial and is more mobile.
For a the grand finale they got him to stand FLAT-FOOTED on his own 40yrd line and throw passes in 5 yrd increments to recievers that were starting on the opposing 30yrd line! They reckon by the end he was hit his recievers IN THE ENDZONE...thats 60yrds!!! ...Flat-footed!!! Unreal arm...
Ben Roethlisberger QB Roethlisberger's workout was scripted by Steve Clarkson, who is a former San Jose State QB and currently helps prepare quarterbacks for the NFL. Roethlisberger (6-4 7/8, 240) ran his 40s in 4.81 and 4.82. He had a 30-inch vertical, a 4.32 short shuttle and a 6.81 three-cone drill.
His positional drills were referred to as outstanding. They had him throw a lot of passes on the move, and threw about 80 passes total with very good accuracy. He threw to Grant Mattos, who was with the Chargers last year, along with Cal Murry, a running back at Miami, Ohio this past year and tight end Matt Brandt (no relation). They finished the workout by having him stand flat-footed on his own 40 and throwing to receivers in five-yard increments starting at the opposing 30-yard line. By the end of the drill, he was connecting to receivers in the end zone 60 yards away. One Giants personnel guy said to me, "I've seen enough," as in Roethlisberger can't get any better. Another person there said, "If Al Davis passes on him, he's making a big mistake."
Our QB of the future?
