Steelers legend Big Ben says prime Aaron Rodgers is better than current Patrick Mahomes
Ben Roethlisberger was tasked with choosing between two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play — and the Steelers legend turned heads with his selection.
On a recent livestream of his Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger podcast, a fan asked Big Ben whether he'd choose prime Aaron Rodgers or current Patrick Mahomes — and this was his response:
"Well, I would take Aaron in his prime over Patrick now," Roethlisberger said. "I think Aaron Rodgers in his prime was one of the top few to ever do it — and so is Patrick Mahomes at his prime. Patrick Mahomes is just entering out of his prime, I think."
Big Ben would go on to clarify that he believes Mahomes will go down as one of the GOATs — but his admiration of Rodgers is clearly second to none.
Rodgers and Mahomes never got their chance to have their State Farm Bowl — but the two multi-time MVPs could still theoretically face off in the playoffs this season.
