Film Room: Keeanu Benton Flashes Pass-Rush Prowess In Primetime

Needing to add some youth and talent in the trenches defensively, it sure looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers might have hit a home run — again — along the defensive line in the NFL draft, thanks to Wisconsin.

That’s referring to rookie defensive tackle Keeanu Benton, whom the Steelers landed at No. 49 overall in the second round of April’s 2023 NFL Draft.

Through three weeks in the NFL, Benton has looked like quite the find for the Steelers, and he put together his best performance of the young season in primetime on Sunday night in Las Vegas.
