The Pittsburgh Steelers are continuing their organized team activities heading into the second week on Tuesday. With the workouts being volunteer, and the NFLPA encouraging players to not participate, exactly who and how many players showing up for the Steelers each day remains to be seen.
With limited access to information during these workouts, we here at Behind The Steel Curtain are doing our best to compile the information into one spot as to what is going on at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex as the Steelers begin their on-field preparation for the 2021 season. Below is a compilation of information from various Steelers beat reporters who have limited attendance during the workouts. Information will come in chronological order from top to bottom to the best of our ability.

Ben Roethlisberger, talking via zoom today, said he felt it was the right thing to let the team know right away he wanted to come back for 2021. He said he felt like he had more in the tank.

Ben Roethlisberger said he didn't play well enough at the end of the 2020 season: 'It's no secret. When the ball is in your hand every play, you have to make plays and play better football.'

Ben Roethlisberger said he can already tell @ohthatsNajee22 is a hard-worker, even coaches telling him to leave the building because he spends so much time there, and that he is picking things up and nothing is too big for him.

'I'm black and gold through and through. I will always bleed black and gold.' - @_BigBen7 on asked if he would consider finishing his career elsewhere

Ben Roethlisberger was forced to do a lot of playcalling/game designing on the fly last season. Now he has a new OC, whose system is very different than what he's run lately. The 39-year old QB says, "I'm just trying to do everything I can to be open to the new challenge."

No, Ben Roethlisberger did not sincerely predict that the Steelers will revolutionize offensive football in 2021. https://t.co/OVh7AGCo2d pic.twitter.com/8yfMj419JA
