El novato de los Steelers Gennings Dunker señala la velocidad como su mayor ajuste a la NFL

El liniero ofensivo novato de los Pittsburgh Steelers, Gennings Dunker, afirmó que la velocidad del juego ha sido su mayor ajuste durante las actividades organizadas del equipo (OTA).

Dunker habló con los reporteros durante las OTA a principios de esta semana. Señaló que los apoyadores de la NFL son más rápidos que aquellos a los que se enfrentó en la universidad y que requieren ángulos diferentes al bloquear debido a su superioridad atlética.
