Fittipaldo Wonders If Keeanu Benton Is ‘Miscast’ As Nose Tackle

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 1 failures on defense can’t be pinned on one person, but third-year NT Keeanu Benton was among the biggest culprits against the New York Jets. He was frequently pushed off the line of scrimmage last Sunday in what may have been the worst game of his NFL career.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo is beginning to wonder about the Steelers’ plan for Benton.

“For a second-round pick, Benton has just kinda left me wanting. I expect more from somebody who was basically a top-50 pick,” Fittipaldo said Friday via 93.7 The Fan’s Pomp and Joe Show.
