Charlie Batch compara al novato Gennings Dunker con Alan Faneca

El ex mariscal de campo de los Steelers, Charlie Batch, observa fuertes similitudes entre el novato de tercera ronda Gennings Dunker y el miembro del Salón de la Fama Alan Faneca. Se espera que Dunker pase de ser tackle ofensivo en la universidad a guardia en la NFL. La comparación surge mientras Pittsburgh busca cubrir un hueco en la posición de guardia izquierdo tras la baja de Isaac Seumalo.

Batch elogió las herramientas físicas de Dunker durante unos comentarios recientes en el canal de YouTube del equipo. “Dunker tiene todos los atributos físicos que deseas para un guardia”, dijo Batch. “Él entiende que tiene la oportunidad de ser titular en este momento. Me recuerda mucho a Alan Faneca”.
