Episode Details

Steelers may be quietly reshaping their defensive line, moving Yahya Black to nose tackle — which could unlock Keeanu Benton’s ceiling. With Black taking over the bulk of the nose tackle reps, Benton can focus on his strength: elite pass rushing, highlighted by a career-high 5.5 sacks last season. While his run defense isn’t his forte, playing defensive end with more specialized snaps could be the perfect fit. This shift might delay a new contract for Benton, but if he thrives in this new role, it could lead to a lucrative extension or even the franchise tag next offseason — positioning him for a breakout year and long-term success.
