‘He’s Just A Born Nose’: Brian Baldinger Impressed With Keeanu Benton’s Performance Against Packers

Over the last few weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie defensive lineman Keeanu Benton has started to see more and more snaps.

With those snaps has come more production from the second-round pick out of Wisconsin.

In the last three weeks, Benton has played 30 snaps against Jacksonville, a season-high 48 against Tennessee, and then 45 against Green Bay, not to mention a season-high nine snaps on special teams on Sunday in the 23-19 win over the Packers.

He’s settled in nicely in the NFL, and now his talent is starting to take over.
