The Facts: Roethlisberger approaches what likely will be the last year of his career, he's using a different approach. Roethlisberger is focusing more than ever on his health and fitness. "Ben camp says biggest concern is weight loss," Ryan Burr reported on Twitter. "He has been so driven since [the] season ended. Source says his diet is stricter than [Tom] Brady." Roethlisberger's camp also says he's in the "best shape of his life" and that Roethlisberger "hears everything."

Diehards Line:As PFT suggests, if he truly hears everything, he hasn't done much about it in past years. He has carried plenty of weight for plenty of snaps over plenty of games during plenty of seasons. Losing weight will put his joints under less stress in 2022. Still, there's a chance that, at the age of 39, his body will begin (or continue) breaking down. He's apparently determined to try to turn back the clock. "Ben will never mention the beating he has taken in the media but says from a dedication standpoint has never seen anything from Ben close to this in [the] past," Burr tweeted. "Source says [he's] obsessed with diet and workouts." It could be too late for Ben to flip a new offseason leaf. With so much turnover on the offensive line, he'll need to be more nimble than he's been. Still, it's interesting to hear Big Ben is paying attention and putting in some effort.
