Ben Roethlisberger: Knee "feels better than ever"

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has insisted that the surgery he underwent on his right knee has made it feel "brand new".

Roethlisberger went under the knife a month ago for a repair of his meniscus and the player now hopes that he will be able to achieve his second 16-game season of his career.

"It feels great, it feels better than ever, like it's a brand new knee, and I feel younger than ever. I feel good," Roethlisberger told 7M Sports.

Roethlisberger has played for the Steelers his entire career, since making his professional debut in 2004.
