Receiving more playing time than originally expected in his NFL debut Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Keeanu Benton had quite the debut in the Black and Gold, albeit in a 30-7 blowout.
Seeing the field more often on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium due to the injury to star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward and second-year defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal banged up as well, Benton played 29 snaps in the loss to San Francisco.
In those 29 snaps, Benton played quite well, grading out at an 86.1 overall from Pro Football Focus, including a 72.
