Draft Analyst Believes Keeanu Benton’s ‘Brute Power’ And Quickness Combo Can Make Him Three-Down Player For Steelers

Most analysts concur that the 2023 NFL Draft was kind to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the manner in which it broke in their favor. Their draft class has been widely praised as one of the strongest in the league, and even Steelers fans actually seem to be happy about it, on the whole—imagine that.

One of the draft picks that we have discussed the least, however, is one of their highest selections, defensive lineman Keeanu Benton, taken 49th overall out of Wisconsin. The position he plays, of course, limits his press at this time of year, but he may well become rather important in Latrobe when the pads come on.
