Steelers hosting three defensive standouts for visits

Not one, not two, but three defensive standouts are meeting with the Steelers today for top 30 pre-draft visits.

The team is hosting:

• Wisconsin DT Keeanu Benton

• USC DE Tuli Tuipulotu

• Kansas State CB Julius Brents

All three are considered second-round draft picks. The Steelers pick 49th, and NFL Mock Draft Database has Tuipulotu ranked 56th overall, Brents 59th and Benton 61st.

Benton measured in at 6-foot-4, 309 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he ranked as the fifth-highest defensive tackle overall.
