There’s no question it’s hard to be a rookie. You’re in a new place with a new playbook, a new coaching staff, trying to absorb it all while competing against the best football players in the world. For many, it’s an overwhelming feeling. While rookie NT Keeanu Benton might have some rough days typical for a rookie, coming to Pittsburgh has eased the learning curve.
Speaking to reporters following Tuesday’s OTA practice, Benton said seeing familiar faces in the Steelers’ locker room has made the jump to the NFL a little easier.
“The transition was a lot easier,” he said via The Trib’s Chris Adamski.
