Entering the 2024 season, expectations are sky-high for second-year Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive lineman Keeanu Benton.
As a rookie, Benton flashed quite bit in 448 snaps, showing off great power and explosion along the interior of the defensive line, looking more and more like a legitimate building block for the Black and Gold defensively.
After playing just seven snaps in the preseason opener against the Houston Texans last week before exiting with an eye injury, Benton flashed in a big way on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills.
The Wisconsin product had two tackles, half a sack and two quarterback hits in the 9-3 loss against the Bills, showing off his explosiveness on the interior, wrecking the game at times.
