Two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger has retired from the NFL after an 18-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Roethlisberger was drafted with the 11th overall pick by the Steelers in 2004, winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award in his first season in the league.

In his rookie season, he was the backup to Tommy Maddox for the season opener, but started Week 2. From there, he lead the team to a 13-0 record on the way to the AFC Championship game, which they lost to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. "By the end of the year, he was a veteran guy because he had been through so much. On the field was just magical, the things that he was able to do and the way he played like a veteran in his rookie year. He had a challenge, but he was able to face it head on and did a great job."

The 39-year-old retires near the top of most quarterback statistical measures in what is likely a Hall of Fame career.
