Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger claims that he had no influence on how the team drafted last weekend, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
With that said, he seemed happy with the group of talented players the team added through the annual rookie selection process.
Specifically, he seemed pleased with the additions of Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed.
"It wasn't pressing for us because we already have [players at those positions]," Roethlisberger said. "It's to add depth, to add versatility."
"You never know. Look at our starting running back now," he added, referring to Willie Parker.. "He wasn't drafted in the first round. We'll see. It's interesting to see how it shakes out."
