Ben Roethlisberger, Mean Joe Greene, Hines Ward, Jack Lambert, and many more, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen some of the best NFL players ever. The Black and Gold are one of the greatest franchises in history and have had many legends wear their colors.
The Steelers are tied with the New England Patriots for the most Super Bowls (6) and most AFC championship game appearances (15.) They also have 18 members in the Hall-of-Fame.
Recently, a fan asked AI on Snapchat to list the top 10 Steelers of all time. Interestingly enough, they left quarterback Roethlisberger off of the list.
They listed Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Lynn Swann, Mel Blount, Rod Woodson, Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward, and Troy Polamalu.

Fans had much to say about Roethlisberger being left off the Steelers' top-10 list. Some think he should be listed over quarterback Terry Bradshaw with others thinking "Big Ben" is a top-five Steeler:
Why Ben Roethlisberger is a top-10 Pittsburgh Steeler
Ben Roethlisberger definitely deserves to be on the top 10 Pittsburgh Steelers' list. He was their quarterback for 18 seasons from 2004 until 2021 and brought them two Super Bowl victories. He finished his career with a starting record of 165-81-1 with a 13-10 postseason record.
Roethlisberger had arguably the best rookie season for a quarterback. He finished the season with a 98.1 passer rating and a perfect 13-0 record.
In his second season in the NFL, he led and brought home the Steelers' fifth Super Bowl victory, becoming the youngest QB ever to win a Super Bowl.
Last week, FanDuel's Twitter page asked if "Big Ben" is the greatest Steelers player of all time. While many didn't feel that he is the greatest Steeler ever, many thought that he was deserving of being a top 10 player in franchise history.
Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season. He is expected to be inducted into the Hall of Fame when his name hits the ballot in 2027.
