Ahead of his third NFL season, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Keeanu Benton has settled into the nose tackle role under defensive line coach Karl Dunbar.
Though there are questions about his overall fit there from a scheme and style standpoint, Dunbar has been adamant that Benton is a nose tackle.
Coming off an up-and-down second season in Pittsburgh, a big third season awaits for Benton. But for former NFL GM Doug Whaley, who appeared on 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show Wednesday, he’s still at “a loss” of just how Benton fits in the Steelers’ defense — and in the NFL in general.
