Down the stretch in the regular season, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive linemen Cameron Heyward and rookie Derrick Harmon have drawn quite a bit of praise for their play.
Overlooked in the Steelers’ strong stretch of play late in the season is nose tackle Keeanu Benton. After dealing with a ton of criticism and backlash early in the season coinciding due to his poor play, Benton has quietly — and steadily — turned his play around.
That led to a dominant showing in the Steelers’ Week 18 win over the Baltimore Ravens to win the AFC North and punch a ticket to the postseason.
