Steelers-Rookie Gennings Dunker nennt das Spieltempo als größte NFL-Umstellung

Der Pittsburgh Steelers-Rookie und Offensive Lineman Gennings Dunker sagte, dass das Tempo des Spiels die größte Umstellung für ihn während der Organized Team Activities gewesen sei. Der Drittrunden-Pick vollzieht zudem nach seiner College-Karriere in Iowa den Wechsel vom Tackle zum Guard.

Dunker sprach Anfang der Woche während der OTAs mit Reportern. Er merkte an, dass NFL-Linebacker schneller seien als jene, denen er im College begegnet ist, und aufgrund ihrer überlegenen Athletik andere Blockwinkel erforderten.
