PITTSBURGH — The San Francisco 49ers' desperate quarterback situation last season almost brought Ben Roethlisberger back to the NFL.
In speaking with 105.9 The X host Mark Madden on Tuesday, the Steelers' future Hall of Fame signal caller said he was contacted by the NFC West power after injuries to Trey Lance and Garoppolo left an apparent void behind center.
"They called to gauge interest, OK?" Roethlisberger said when asked if he ever felt the urge to make a comeback. "I had conversations with my agent, with my wife, my family. Prayed a lot about it. And I'd be lying if I didn't say there was a small part of me that was intrigued, like, 'Oh, man I can still do it,' like prove to people that I could still play.
