Yahoo Sports NFL on Ben Roethlisberger

Roethlisberger's first-ballot Hall of Fame selection in 2027 uncertain.

Roethlisberger carries a Hall of Fame-worthy resume but faces uncertainty about first-ballot selection in 2027. The source notes that while three first-ballot selections in a single class have occurred in 2021, 2019, and 2018, that composition hasn't re-emerged since then, making it "entirely possible" that the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback could be left to wait at least another year—potentially longer given Tom Brady's projected 2028 first-ballot entry. The source suggests Roethlisberger may not make the cut in his first year of eligibility.
