Steelers’ DL Keeanu Benton Named To PFF’s All-Breakout Team

Entering his second season in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive lineman Keeanu Benton is expected to take a sizable step forward for the Black and Gold.

As a rookie, Benton showed promising flashes of a dominant pass rusher and a serviceable run defender, playing nearly 500 snaps as a rookie. Now, entering Year 2 with that experience under his belt in the NFL, the sky is the limit for the former second-round pick out of Wisconsin.

In fact, Pro Football Focus expects Benton to have a huge second season, naming him to the 2024 All-Breakout Team Wednesday morning.
