The Pittsburgh Steelers should be better offensively this year, but the strength of their team should still be their defense. The backbone of that unit is their front seven, and they should be even better this year with a handful of young players improving. Nick Herbig stole the show this preseason, but Keeanu Benton looked much improved as well. Benton believes the presence of Cam Heyward has been a big part of why he’s been able to get better.
Speaking to the media after practice on Monday, Benton was asked what watching Heyward does for him.
