Veteran NT Montravius Adams is playing arguably the best football of his career now in his third season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has played well enough to maintain a starting job over rookie Keeanu Benton.
It seems unlikely, though, that job will be waiting for him by the time he returns from the ankle injury that is causing him to miss his second consecutive game in a row. Adams himself readily admitted that the second-round pick could have been a day-one starter. He’d better feel that way if he’s picking things up from the rookie.
