Benton, the 49th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, signed a contract that includes guaranteed money in the third year -- an unprecedented deal, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Benton performed well at the NFL Combine after serving as the anchor of Wisconsin's defensive line, recording 60 tackles in his final two collegiate seasons. He should be a plus for a Steelers defense graded by PFF as 2022's tenth best run-defending unit.
