Coming out of the 2023 playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin spoke glowingly of nose tackle Keeanu Benton, stating after a strong rookie season that he could be a dominant player sooner rather than later for the Black and Gold.
On Wednesday, after the players reported to training camp in Latrobe, Tomlin reiterated his thoughts regarding Benton.
In his media session Wednesday following the conditioning test, Tomlin made it quite clear that he is expecting “big things” from Benton in Year 2.
“Big things. Big things,” Tomlin stated when asked what expectations are for Benton, according to video via the Steelers’ YouTube page.
