The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t hide their interest in Keeanu Benton, the Wisconsin defensive lineman, throughout the NFL’s offseason. It was at the 2023 Senior Bowl where the Steelers told Benton he was “on their radar”, and pre-draft visits also added to the fact of the team’s interest in Benton.
Therefore, when the Steelers drafted Benton in the 2nd Round of the 2023 NFL Draft, it shouldn’t have shocked many people.
With Benton now in the fold, what most Steelers fans might not know would be the details of what got Benton to Pittsburgh in the first place.
