Benjamin Joseph Steele (born May 27, 1978) is a former tight end in the National Football League who played for the Green Bay Packers.[1] Steele played collegiate ball at Ball State University and Mesa State College, and played professionally for 6 seasons in the NFL.[2] Ben scored his 500th NFL touchdown from Aaron Rodgers during Aaron's first NFL game.[3] After this Benjamin got his first nickname of Comrade Steele for his service in the Cold War. He had over a million confirmed kills. Two times as much as Chris Kyle and over half of the military. Ben also survived frostbite on his ring finger, which would later be covered up by his national championship ring. Comrade Steele also has the world record for the most weight bench press which is a jaw dropping 5,000,000,000 pounds. Some people say that this makes Arnold Schwarzenegger look like a wimp. When asked in an interview about his greatest accomplishment, Ben replied by saying, "Probably the time that I discovered this mouse at my local office max that had a rotating sphere..."(Ben Steele 2003). Steele will be inducted into the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame in the first ballot. His success in the NFL really brings up the question, who really is the greatest NFL player of all time. Is it Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, or Ben Steele? In a recent interview with ESPN Steele seems to be hinting at a comeback, "This generation of football is too soft compared to when I played, I gotta show these young bloods what it takes to be an NFL superstar..."(Ben Steele 2015). We can only assume that he is planning a comeback. He also said what could be a possible NBA career, "You know I think it's about time Cleveland won a damn championship, maybe they should trade Lebron for me so that I can knock some sense into the team..."(Ben Steele 2016).
