Cowher says Roethlisberger is finally maturing

Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher says it was hard to get through to Ben Roethlisberger after his early success, but now “you’re going to see a different person.”

Under Cowher in 2006, Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Cowher said that with his early success, Roethlisberger’s reaction to advice about his off-field actions was: “But we’re winning games. We’re wining championships.”

Cowher’s says his response was, “Yeah, but there’s more to it than that.”

The former coach says, “I really think he understands that now.”
