A knee injury kept Ben Roethlisberger out of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 7 matchup against the New England Patriots last season, but he did have the opportunity to ask Tom Brady for a jersey before the game.

During an appearance Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan, Roethlisberger was asked if Brady came through with the jersey like he promised.

"He did, he personalized it," Roethlisberger said, according to Bryan DeArdo of 247Sports.com. "We're in the process of building a new house, so it's at the framers."

Roethlisberger also revealed the message Brady left for him.

"To Ben, a great friend, a great competitor," he said. "Lot of respect, and coming from a guy like that, (it) means a lot."

The two quarterbacks will square off Sunday in Pittsburgh.
