In Focus: 13 years of camp

By

This is Ben Roethlisberger’s 13th year in often sticky heat at the Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College. We’re guessing it was easier (at least physically) back in 2004, when he first came to Latrobe as a young man of 22.
Of course, he went on the next season to become, at age 23, the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He has led the Steelers to eight postseason berths, five AFC North championships, three AFC championships. Then, there are those Lombardi trophies — two, since he’s been the quarterback.
Now, at age 34, the rigors of training camp take a daily toll as he prepares for the upcoming season.
