http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , Pa. (AP) — berger acknowledged on Friday that he had a unique on-field connection with wide receiver Antonio Brown.Roethlisberger also admitted before the Steelers’ first practice of training camp that it would be different without Brown on the line of scrimmage this season. But he’s excited to move on after the Steelers traded Brown to Oakland following a messy public offseason divorce.“I think the things we did together were some things that no one’s really ever done,” Roethlisberger said. “It was pretty special, so it’s going to be hard to make up for that. But I’m going to do my best to still bring my “A” game, and I know we have other guys on this team who are ready to step up.”Roethlisberger and Brown combined for 74 touchdowns, the most in team history and sixth-best in NFL history. They also ended with 797 completions, second-most between a quarterback and receiver tandem in NFL history.But Brown decided to bail on his teammates before a must-win Week 17 home game against Cincinnati last season. The four-time All-Pro spent most of the offseason lashing out at the organization after a late-season collapse kept Pittsburgh from the playoffs for the first time since 2013. Brown also criticized Roethlisberger, once saying that he felt the two-time Super Bowl winner had an “owner mentality.”Roethlisberger said he isn’t using offseason criticism from ex-players as motivation this season.“I’m only focused on the guys that are here,” he said. “That’s all that really matters to me, the guys who are in this locker room, and on this team
D.K. Metcalf Jersey , and that’s all I should focus on.”The charismatic JuJu Smith-Schuster is now the unquestioned No. 1 receiver on the team after the 22-year-old finished with 111 catches for 1,426 yards and seven touchdowns last season. Roethlisberger has noticed a difference in the third-year receiver, who was named team MVP last season.“I think JuJu is still himself and that’s what makes him special,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s still fun-loving and silly at times, but you see some growth and maturity, and you see him kind of accepting that leadership role.”The Steelers have several options to fill the void opposite Smith-Schuster, including veterans Donte Moncrief, Ryan Switzer, and Eli Rogers. They also have James Washington, last year’s second-round pick

The 37-year-old Roethlisberger says he’s not as fast entering year 16 but feels his arm is just as strong as it was 10 years ago.“I really spent a lot of time with my trainer, working on my shoulders and back and things for throwing
Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey ,” Roethlisberger said. “I feel as good as I ever have physically, and I still feel sharp mentally, too, so that’s important.”Roethlisberger also plans to stick around at least for another three years after signing a contract extension that will keep the two-time Super Bowl winner in Pittsburgh through the 2021 season.“I’m going to play to the end of my contract and then I’ll decide anything after that,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ve honored all of my contracts to date. That’s my goal.”Roethlisberger also wants to win another Super Bowl.“That’s much more motivation for me than what people say,” Roethlisberger said. “I’ll be selfish when it comes to that. I want to win Super Bowls. Truthfully, that should be all of our motivation because that’s what’s driving me right now.” The Patriots start their rookie minicamp on Friday and that will give wide receiver N'Keal Harry his first chance to work with his new teammates since the team drafted him in the first round last month.Harry is the first wide receiver to be selected in the first round since Bill Belichick arrived in New England and the current makeup of the receiving corps points to the rookie having a chance to make a sizable impact if he can adapt to the offense quickly. That adaptation may come with some rough patches, but Harry said on Thursday that he wants to be “coached hard” and feels he’s in the best possible spot for success.“It means the world to me,” Harry said. “This is a great organization. I feel like I couldn’t have been put in a better situation. I’m learning from the best of the best and I’m just excited to get to work and soak in as much information as possible.”There have only been three Patriots rookie wideouts with at least 400 yards during the Belichick era. Harry is positioned to be the fourth and should have a good chance of topping Aaron Dobson’s rookie-best 519 yards if all falls into place quickly.
