Santa came through for Ben Roethlisberger's son, Benjamin Jr., this Christmas.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback tweeted a photo Tuesday of 6-year-old Benjamin Jr. posing happily with his new James Conner jersey.

Benjamin Jr. is a big fan of Conner and has even pretended to be the running back while playing football with his father.
"I texted (Conner) and I told him, James, it must have been pretty cool to have (Heinz Field) chanting 'Conner,' but you want to know something that's even cooler? When I come home and play catch with my son and every time he catches it, he's you," Roethlisberger said on his weekly radio show on 93.7 The Fan in October.
