As a rookie coming out of Wisconsin, 2023 second-round draft pick Keeanu Benton had a major impact on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive line last season.
Stepping into a larger role due to the early-season injury to star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, Benton hit the ground running and showed just how bright his future is in the trenches, flashing some impressive explosiveness and athleticism up front for the Steelers.
Now, entering Year 2, expectations are even higher for the former Badger as he has a starting role at the nose tackle position in a loaded Steelers defensive front.
