Keeanu Benton Believes He Has A ‘Natural Flock’ From Leadership Standpoint Entering Year 2

Entering Year 2, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Keeanu Benton is poised to take a significant leap into a potentially dominant piece in the trenches defensively for the Black and Gold.

Coming off a strong rookie season, Benton is entering his second NFL season ready for a larger role with the Steelers, especially as the Pittsburgh defensive line continues to get older, highlighted by team captain Cameron Heyward, who enters his age-35 season.

After flashing some high-level traits as a rookie and showing some chops as a pass rusher, the future appears bright for Benton on the field ahead of the 2024 season, especially as he continues to improve.
