Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo recently expressed his doubts about how Keeanu Benton, a defensive tackle prospect, would fit into the team’s defensive front.
“I don’t know how Keeanu Benton fits,” Fittipaldo said, sparking debate among Steelers fans and analysts.
Benton, a standout defensive tackle from Wisconsin, is considered one of the top prospects at his position in the upcoming NFL draft. However, Fittipaldo’s comments suggest that he may not be a good fit for the Steelers’ defensive scheme.
The Steelers’ defensive front has been a strength of the team in recent years, with players like Cameron Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi anchoring the line. However, with Ogunjobi set to become a free agent, the Steelers may be in the market for a new defensive tackle.
Despite Fittipaldo’s doubts, some analysts believe that Benton could be a good fit for the Steelers. He has the size, strength, and athleticism to play defensive tackle in the Steelers’ 3-4 scheme, and his production at Wisconsin suggests that he could be a valuable addition to the team’s defensive line.
Ultimately, only time will tell if Benton is a good fit for the Steelers. But with Fittipaldo’s comments sparking debate, it’s clear that Benton’s potential fit with the Steelers will be a topic of discussion in the weeks and months leading up to the draft.
