Like most second-year players, NT Keeanu Benton was counted on to make big strides as a sophomore, especially after his impressive rookie year. While the stats don’t show a leap, he’s steadily improving on the path of becoming an excellent player along the Pittsburgh Steelers’ d-line.
Last weekend against the Cleveland Browns, Benton picked off a screen pass that helped shift momentum of the Steelers’ eventual win. On the latest episode of his Mike Tomlin Show that aired Saturday, Mike Tomlin took time to praise Benton for that play that showed he’s learning to do more than just his job.
