Player: DL Keeanu Benton
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: The Steelers are very high on DL Keeanu Benton as he enters his second season, as are his teammates. While there is only so much a lineman can show without pads, he stood out during spring practices. Fellow defensive lineman Cameron Heyward offered that he could be as good as Javon Hargrave, which is high praise.
The Pittsburgh Steelers decided back in 2020 that they could not afford to pay Javon Hargrave. They already had Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt on the defensive line, and Hargrave didn’t play enough snaps.
